These KIT KAT Halloween Brownies are fudgy and packed with KIT KAT candy bars. They’re festive, easy to make, and perfect for Halloween gatherings.
I’m excited to share this Halloween brownie recipe in partnership with The Hershey Company. KIT KAT bars are one of my favorite candies—the crisp wafer and smooth chocolate make a great contrast in both texture and flavor.
I folded chopped KIT KAT candy bars into my go-to fudgy brownie batter, then topped the cooled brownies with a malted buttercream that complements the rich chocolate. The malt adds a subtle, nostalgic flavor that pairs especially well with the KIT KAT pieces.
To finish the brownies, I sprinkled additional chopped KIT KAT bars and playful Halloween sprinkles on top—I used candy eyeballs, but any seasonal sprinkles will work. The contrast of fudgy brownie, crunchy KIT KAT, and creamy malt frosting makes every bite fun.
These KIT KAT Halloween Brownies are a hit at home—kids and adults loved how cute they looked and how delicious they were. They’re a simple, festive addition to any Halloween spread or classroom party.
