Halloween Treat Idea – Halloween Dessert Pizza
If you’re familiar with fruit pizza, take your love of pizza and Halloween and put them together for a sweet dessert idea!
This Halloween dessert pizza is a fun idea for a Halloween party, school treats, or Halloween at home, using store-bought products.
The only thing you have to bake is the brownie.
Use your favorite brownie recipe for the base, or grab your favorite brownie mix at the grocery store.
Either way, the recipe will come out the same.
Then grab some of your favorite Halloween candies and put it all together.
What You Need
Brownie. Boxed brownie mix is the base of this dessert pizza. Use the ingredients on the back of the box to make the brownie mixture. Or you can use a homemade brownie recipe.
Oreo Cookies. Next, Oreo cookies are the perfect pairing for the fudge brownie base. I love classic Oreos, but you can use any type you want.
Heath Candy Bars. Crushed-up Heath candy bars will add a nice crunch to the pizza. You can always swap it out for another candy bar, like Snickers, Milky Way, etc.
Frosting. I used store-bought chocolate and orange cookie icing frosting for this pizza dessert. You can easily make your own, but I prefer to buy pre-made to save on prep work. You could also use orange candy melts for frosting by dissolving in a small microwavable bowl and then placing them in a piping bag.
Candy. I used candy corn, candy eyes, M&M’s, and Autumn sprinkles to decorate the top of the brownie pizza. It is easy to do and adds sweetness and color to each bite. Feel free to improvise with whatever you want.

Directions for making a Halloween Dessert Pizza

- Once completely cooled, use an icing spatula to spread chocolate icing over the brownie crust. Sprinkle the crushed Oreos over the icing. Next, use orange cookie icing to create a spider web design on the chocolate icing.
- Use a piping bag filled with orange frosting to make it easier to drizzle across this Halloween cookie cake.

How do I store my pizza?

You can also use chopped Snickers, Milky Way, Butterfinger, or small candies of your choice.
You may also use your favorite icing. Be creative with your colors and candies.
How to know when the brownie is cooked all the way through?
Depending on your pan size, cooking time will vary.
Use a toothpick and stick it in the center of the brownie.
The brownie is done when a toothpick comes out clean.
If it still has wet batter, cook it longer.
Adjust the cooking time as needed for this Halloween brownie pizza.
Can I freeze brownie dessert pizza?
Yes, you can freeze any pizza you don’t eat right away.
Place in a freezer-friendly container and freeze for 2-3 months.
Then thaw on the counter for a few hours, or in the fridge overnight, before slicing and serving.
Can I use something besides a brownie as the base of the pizza?
Go right ahead and use any cookie dough flavor you enjoy.
I would love this as a chocolate chip cookie, sugar cookie dough, or even a peanut butter cookie base.
Spread out the dough, bake, and then decorate once cooled.
The best part about this delicious Halloween dessert is that it’s colorful, and everyone will love it.
This simple Halloween dessert also makes a great gift idea for a You’ve Got Booed Basket!
