This brain cookie by [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-cookie-cutters) store Bubba's Sweets is actually a [chocolate covered Oreo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-covered-pretzel-oreo) -- but you don't have to tell your trick-or-treators that. If you're looking to strike fear into the heart of middle-schoolers, this [gory snack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-halloween-collection) is definitely the way to go.

The sweet treat is both weird and delicious, but it's not for those with a weak stomach. If you can't stand the thought of snacking on blood, guts and brains, this is probably not the cookie for you.

But, if you can get over your squeamish tendencies, then I urge you to have a bite. Every item from Bubba's Sweets is personally hand-crafted by the owner Ashley, and tested by her husband: Bubba himself!
