- Unique shape: Shaped like coffins and topped with a cute white chocolate skeleton, these brownies bring a spooky yet playful touch to any Halloween party / event.
- Easy to share: The coffin shape makes each brownie a great ‘ready-to-serve’ individual portion, ideal for sharing (or not!).
- No compromise on flavour: Even without dairy and eggs, these brownies deliver all the satisfying textures and flavour you expect from a classic chocolate treat, but 100% cruelty-free!
- Great ‘make ahead’ treat: You can make the brownies in advance and store in an air tight container overnight for serving the next day. This will help remain their chewy & moist texture.
Tips and tricks
- Chocolate fudge sauce: To give the brownies more delicious flavour and to help the Oreos stick, we layer some chocolate fudge to the top of each brownie. My go-to store bought chocolate fudge is Natures Charm Coconut Chocolate Fudge Sauce. It’s absolutely delicious, perfect addition to the brownies.
- Oreo crumbs: Adding the Oreos into a small food processor / blender crumbles them fine enough to loose like ‘dirt’, perfect for the skeleton to rest on top of.
- Coffin cookie cutter: For ease, use a coffin shaped cookie cutter to chomp out the shapes. If you don’t have one, you can cut them out free hand with a sharp knife.
- Fudgey brownie: The brownie is super fudgey in texture all thanks to the flax ‘egg’ and condensed milk. The flaxegg helps bind the brownie also adding a rich, dense texture to the brownie. The addition of the condensed milk really helps with the classic fudgey brownie texture, also adding a delicious light oat flavour. I use my favourite Natures Charm Condensed Oat Milk.
- Piping the skeleton: Pipe the body directly on to the brownie and pipe the head on some grease proof paper separately as it’s quite difficult to pipe the eyes and mouth on the Oreo crumbs.

Description
How to make a spooky yet delicious coffin shaped brownie topped with chocolate fudge, Oreo crumbles and a white chocolate skeleton. Perfect for Halloween!
Ingredients
Ingredients for the brownie
- 4 tablespoons of ground flaxseed + 8 tablespoons of water
- 140g of dairy-free butter (room temperature)
- 160g of caster sugar
- 160g of light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of Natures Charm Condensed Oat Milk
- 100g of cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 200g of self-raising flour
Ingredients for the toppings
- Natures Charm Chocolate fudge sauce
- 1 pack of regular Oreos (154g)
- 150g of dairy-free white chocolate
Instructions
Method (brownie)
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees c fan, and line a deep baking tray with grease-proof paper.
- Make the flax eggs. Add the ground flaxseed into a small bowl and add in the room temperature water. Stir to combine then set aside to thicken. This will take around 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the dairy-free butter, both sugars and flax egg. Whisk to combine until light in colour. You can do this by hand or using an electric hand whisk / stand mixer with balloon whisk attachment.
- Add in the condensed milk, cocoa powder, baking powder and flour. Mix until a thick brownie batter.
- Spoon then spread the batter into the lined tin, making sure to get it as flat as possible. Smooth out with the back of a spoon or off-set spatula.
- Place the tin into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Keep an eye on the edges of the brownie to make sure they’re not burning.
- When the brownie is ready, remove from the oven and allow to cool. You want to cut the brownie whilst it’s still slightly warm, as when it’s cold, it will crack.
- Use a coffin shaped cookie cutter to chomp out shapes and place onto greaseproof paper. Discard trimmings (I like to store them in a sealed container in the fridge for snacking).
Method (decorations)
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of chocolate fudge sauce to the top of each brownie, spreading it out to cover the entire surface of the brownie. Don’t add too much or it will slide off the brownie making quite a mess.
- Blitz up the Oreos in a small blender and pour into a medium sized bowl.
- Dip the top of each brownie in the Oreo crumbs, the sauce will help it stick. Place on a tray and allow this to set.
Method (skeleton)
- Melt the dairy-free white chocolate either on the hob using a bain-marie (pan filled with water with a heat proof bowl on top) or in the microwave in 10 second intervals until melted. Melt until smooth.
- Transfer the melted white chocolate into a piping bag and snip off the tip.
- Pipe the skeleton body on-top of the brownie (refer to video for reference).
- Place some grease proof paper on a cutting board or baking tin.
- Pipe the face on the lined paper, making sure to leave holes for the eyes and mouth (refer to photos).
- Place in the freezer for 5 minutes to set, then peel the faces off the paper and place on to the brownie. Optional- use some melted white chocolate to stick the face to the brownie.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
To store: Store in a sealed container in the fridge. Allow to come to room temperature before serving. Best enjoyed within 2-3 days of making
