- Line an 8x8 square pan with parchment paper. Pour in the mixed batter.
- Bake in the oven per the time & temperature on the brownie box mix. Mine was at 325°F for 35 minutes (we like ours a bit gooey and under cooked in the middle)
- While it is baking, crush the Oreos by placing them in a food processor or in a Ziploc bag & use a rolling pin or meat mallet to pulverize.
- Once the brownies are cooked, remove the pan from the oven carefully. Let the brownies cool for 30 minutes in the pan.
- Lift the brownies out of the pan by grabbing the edges of the parchment paper. Remove them from the parchment paper slowly and place the brownie on a cutting board.
- Let the brownies cool an additional 30 minutes. This is important so the frosting do not melt & the brownies do not crumble as you frost it.
- Once completely cool, frost the brownies using ½ the tub of chocolate frosting. You only need a thin layer so the crumbs stick to the brownies.½ tub Chocolate Frosting
- Sprinkle on the Oreo cookie crumbs to cover the frosting.12 each Oreo Sandwich Cookies
- Top with 12 sour or sweet gummy worms, evenly spaced so that once cut each piece gets 1 worm on top.12 Gummy Worms
- Cut into 12 squares & serve.
Notes
STORING:
- Cover & store leftovers in a cool dry place for up to 2 days. Anything longer, store in the refrigerator.
- Make sure the brownies are cool & the frosting is at room temperature. This will allow the frosting to spread easily without tearing or breaking the brownies.
- Use a gluten-free brownie mix & Oreos if needed.
- If too sweet for you, substitute defrosted Cool Whip for the frosting. Store in the refrigerator at all times.
