These ghost brownies are basically a Halloween s’more in a pan: graham crackers under the brownie, chocolate on top, and ghost-shaped marshmallows toasted at the end. The idea and step photos below are credited to @_sweetinfusiondesserts. Here’s the short version before you scroll through the pictures.

Ghost brownies at a glance

  1. Line a greased 8-inch square pan with graham crackers.
  2. Prepare your brownie mix according to its package and spread the batter over the crackers. Bake for the time and temperature on that package.
  3. Let the brownies cool, then lay chocolate bar pieces over them and add ghost-shaped marshmallow Peeps.
  4. Put the pan under the broiler just long enough to toast the marshmallows, watching constantly. The original directions below suggest 2 to 3 minutes, but broilers vary and the topping can burn quickly.

Use a broiler-safe pan and keep the pan close enough to watch the topping. This is a summary of the pictured creator’s method, not a claim that we’ve tested a different brownie mix, pan, or broiler.

It’s almost Halloween, and you know what that means!

Time to make all the yummy goodies — give me ALL the Treats.

How To Make Ghost Brownies

You start with an 8-inch square baking pan. You can either use a metal one or a disposable one — either will work.

Spray that pan all over (on the inside) with Cooking Spray, so the brownies come out of the pan nice and easy.

Next, you want to layer the bottom of the pan with Graham Crackers — just kinda line them up and fit them in.

Then, mix up your Brownies, and add them on top of the Graham Crackers. Make sure you spread out the Brownie Mix to cover the entire inside of the pan.

Now, Bake your Brownie Mix for the time listed on the box.

Once your Brownies have cooled, break your Hershey’s Chocolate Bars into individual chocolate rectangles, and lay them on top of the cooked Brownies.

Next, you want to take those Ghost Marshmallow Peeps and spread them out on top of the chocolate bars.

Yum!! This is looking so good already!!

Now, you want to take your beautiful Chocolatey, Marshmallowy pan of goodness and stick it under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes. Watch it so you make sure it doesn’t burn.

When it comes out of the oven, VOILA! You have Ghost Brownies.

I bet they won’t last very long in your house. Everyone is going to eat them up!
