Recipe: Cookies and Cream Brownies

Cookies and Cream Brownies will be the hit of any casual get-together… they are so sweet and good… and they go with everything… everyone will love them… after all…what’s not to love?… crushed Oreo cookies and chewy chocolatey brownies.

You can use a mix for the brownies or make them from scratch using my Brownie recipe… I was in a hurry this time… we were invited to a get together fairly last minute… so I used my favorite Betty Crocker fudge brownie mix… mixed up the batter and while they were baking … I made the frosting.

This recipe was adapted from Betty Crocker….the brownies are made as normal but with crushed Oreo cookies added….then topped with a homemade vanilla frosting mixed with chopped Oreo cookies… all I can say is yummmmm…

I recently brought them to a barbeque… and yes it was a barbeque… I’m in south Georgia and our nice days are absolutely perfect this time of year… the brownies were a definite hit … they got the thumbs up from the adults and all the kids as well… so here’s a quick and easy recipe to make.

TIPS

I broke Oreo cookies in half and placed them cut side down on top of the brownie for decoration.

Use a pizza cutter for an easy way to cut brownies… wipe blade with a paper towel occasionally.
