Don’t worry, this list isn’t full of brownies with little fudge leaves or edible gold foil—these recipes are just everything you love about brownies with a generous dose of fall mixed in.

There are sweet fall brownies here filled with all the fall flavors you know and love like spice cake and pumpkin, but there are also some that are perfect to make for Halloween or to use up some of your leftover “don’t give it away” treats. Trick or Treat” game. Treat candy.

Some of them even use boxed mixes, which means if you’re on the go but still want brownies, you can have them. Because fall brownies are for all of us.
01Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
You knew pumpkin would be at the top of the list, right? These Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirl Brownies from It’s a Wonderful Life in Suburbia are incredible. Pumpkin is delicious in both sweet and savory dishes, but it’s the combination of cheesecake flavor and chocolate that will get you excited. Super fudgy and moist, these brownies look perfect for fall parties too.
02Caramel Brownie Cake
The caramel has that classic fall feel to it – maybe all Halloween candy? – So I’m obsessed with these caramel brownies from Damn Delicious. With a layer of caramel oozing out from the center with every bite, you’re sure to get those warm, hearty fall food vibes.
03Toffee Brownie Cookies
Just like caramel, toffee feels like a fall flavor, so I was ready for a spicy kick with these toffee brownie cookies. It may be cookie-shaped, but the flavor and texture are fudgy brownie, and the crunchy, sweet toffee topping will make you feel like you’ve fallen into a gourd and lived there with a bunch of fall fairies. (Yes, it’s that good.)
04Reese’s Fudge Brownies
Are you ready to mix all your favorite Halloween candies into fall brownies? I’m ready for you. Reese’s Fluffernutter Brownie recipe from Inside Bru Crew Life is simply decadent. With Reese’s Chocolate Chips, Peanut Butter Cups and marshmallows, it’s like your trick-or-treat bucket dropped into a perfect pot of brownies.
05Caramel Apple Brownies
It wouldn’t be fall without caramel apples, so you might as well try mixing it into brownies. These delicious Caramel Apple Brownies from Foodie Crush are like the perfect apple cake mashed into brownies, and I’m mad I’ve lived 36 years without this recipe.
06Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Brownies
For a classic fall brownie, try Averie Cooks’ Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Brownies. Nothing fancy here, just a good old fashioned brownie mixed with everyone’s favorite fall gourd.
07Salty Rollo Brownie
More caramel, but this time we use Rolos, an underrated candy. This Savory Rolo Brownie recipe from Brown Eyed Baker has a texture from heaven that creates a very thick cakey brownie with the perfect salt to caramel ratio.
08Pecan Pie Brownie
It doesn’t get much more fall than this: pecan pie brownies. Cookie Named Desire’s recipe gives you a classic fudgy brownie base, then delivers the perfect sweet and crunchy pecan pie flavor on top. Both desserts have everything you love about them, and the recipes are so easy. Don’t wait until Thanksgiving to do these things.
09Snickers Blonde Bar
All that cinnamon-sugar sweetness in snickers means they’re the perfect autumn cookie, so why not give Baked By Rachel’s Snickers Blonde Bars a try? My husband is a Snickers expert and he swears these blondie bars have the exact same texture as Snickers cookies, soft and fluffy, but they are thicker. What more do you want?
10Spice Cake Brownies
Want a super easy fall brownie? Try this spice cake brownie recipe. The official title of “Cookies and Cups” is “Spice Cake Knock You Naked Brownies,” which I feel is an apt description. Using spice cake box mix and a few simple pantry ingredients, you can have these delightful spiced brownies ready to impress.
11brownie spider
Okay, maybe this is more like Halloween brownies, but Halloween is in the fall, right? These brownie spiders from Gimme Some Oven are effortless to whip up and look adorable on a party platter or as a dessert for friends and neighbors.
So which fall brownie recipe will you be making this weekend?
