If you like dense, ooey gooey brownies with a deep chocolate flavor then these brownies are for you!  I love that you can make the entire batter in the same pot and then just pour into a baking dish to bake.  Easy and delicious!

 

 

Ingredients:

1 12 oz bag semi sweet chocolate chips plus 3/4 cup extra
2 sticks butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 tablespoon instant coffee
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour

Preparation:

In a large saucepan melt butter and 12 oz. bag of chocolate chips together (reserve extra chocolate chips for the end).  Stir constantly until chocolate is completely melted.  Remove from heat and add vanilla and sugar and blend directly in pot with a hand mixer.  Next add eggs one at a time until completely combined.  Last, blend in coffee, salt and flour until combined and smooth.  With a wooden spoon mix in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips which will slightly melt and add more chocolate flavor to the batter.  Transfer batter into a greased 13x9 pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes.

I made a similar Oreo brownie using mint oreos not too long ago.  This time I decided to go classic cookies and cream and also add a crumble of Oreos on top of each brownie so you know what you will get inside.  These make a great treat for kids and adults.

 

Ingredients:

1 box of Family Size brownie mix

1 package of double stuffed Oreos

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Generously grease a muffin pan with non stick cooking spray.  Mix brownie mix as per package directions.  Dip each Oreo into the brownie batter until coated completely.  Drop one brownie battered Oreo into each greased muffin tin.  Crush 4-6 Oreos in a big ziploc bag using a rolling pin.  Sprinkle crushed Oreos on top of each brownie battered Oreo.  Bake for 15 minutes.  Let cool completely before trying to remove brownies from tins.

I also made a batch in a small 9x9 pan and just layered some brownie batter on the bottom then a layer of Oreo cookies and then a layer of brownie batter and baked it according to the package directions for that size pan.

I have found myself slightly addicted to Pinterest.  I go on daily and can easily spend an hour searching through other peoples pins, especially food related ones.  This recipe I found during one of those browsing sessions.  The original recipe comes from a really nice blog Kevin and Amanda.  The picture that was posted for this recipe was gorgeous......it was similar to the one above but topped with vanilla icecream and covered with chocolate fudge....YUMMY!  I hope you enjoy this recipe as much I as did.  I brought it to a friends house and everyone loved it!

Ingredients:

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup light brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups (12 ounces) milk (or semi sweet) chocolate chips

1 pkg Double Stuffed Oreos

1 Family Size (9×13) Brownie mix

1/4 cup hot fudge topping

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream the butter and both sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed for 3-5 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well to thoroughly combine. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt, then slowly incorporate into the mixer until the flour is just combined. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips.

Spread the cookie dough in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish that’s been lined with wax paper and sprayed with cooking spray.

Top with a layer of Oreos.

Mix together brownie mix, adding an optional 1/4 cup of hot fudge topping to the mix. Pour the brownie batter over the cookie dough and Oreos.

Sprinkle an additional 1/4 - 1/2 cup of chocolate chips on top of Brownie batter

Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 15-25 minutes. Brownies are down when a toothpick inserted 2″ from the edge comes out clean or with moist pieces clinging to it. Let cool completely before cutting.

*To half this recipe for an 8×8 brownie mix, simply half the chocolate chip cookie dough ingredients. Enjoy!

I have seen recipes with Oreo's everywhere lately.  Oreo's stuffed into chocolate chip cookies, Oreo truffles, Oreo cake etc.  I guess EVERYONE loves Oreo cookies.  When I saw the recipes for brownie covered Oreo's I figured "what could be easier" just two ingredients and there's nothing bettter than brownies and Oreo's.  I LOVE mint and chocolate so I thought the combination of Mint Oreo's with brownies would be delicious.  I had a friend and her family over for dinner this weekend and her son is allergic to peanuts so this was a great "peanut free" treat.  She offered to make them for everyone and they came out great.

Ingredients:

1 package of brownie mix

1 package of mint flavored Oreo cookies

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, grease 24 muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.  Make brownie mix according to package directions.  Once mix is prepared dunk each Oreo into brownie mix until completely coated and drop into greased muffin tins.  Bake about 20 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean.
