I’ve never been a big huge fan of brownies but I do love me some Oreos. So naturally when you add Oreos into brownie batter, you betcha I’m gonna eat me some!
I thought it might be weird to have crunchy cookies in brownie batter but they actually soften and just blend into the batter. The crushed Oreos on top do add that bit of crunch. The white chocolate drizzle is optional but I liked that added touch of sweetness on top.
This isn’t a wimpy brownie recipe either, you get a generous 9×13 pan of brownies out of it. Not just a scrawny 9 inch square baking pan. I hate going through the trouble of making homemade brownies to only get a tiny pan that hubs devours in an hour. Oh yeah, he can hoover brownies like no other!
Give these brownies a try, they are very good. Next time I need a picnic dessert, I think I’m gonna take these. They are sure to be a crowd pleaser plus they are so rich that a small piece goes a long way.
