Oreo Crunch Brownies (w/ pnut btr)

By Niecer

There is a layer of brownie, that has Oreo cookies baked into it, then a layer of crushed Oreos and chocolate chips, and its all covered with a melted chocolate and peanut butter topping to hold it all together. I really don’t think it gets better then that.

• 2 Teaspoons Vanilla
• 1 1/4 Cup Flour

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350
Butter and flour an 8 × 8 cake pan.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla. Add in cocoa powder and mix until combined.
Add flour and salt, mixing well until batter is smooth and comes together. Fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
Spread in the 8 × 8 pan. Sink 9 Oreo cookies into the batter and press gently. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
While baking, crush the remaining Oreos in a ziplock bag. When brownies are finished baking, remove from the oven and sprinkle with 1/2 cup chocolate chips and crush Oreos. Place back in the oven for about 2-3 minutes.
During this time, melt remaining chocolate chips and peanut butter together. Remove brownies from oven and pour melted chocolate mixture over top, spreading with a spatula. Make sure chocolate gets down into the Oreo crevices, as it is the “glue” that holds the top to the bottom.
Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
Let brownies sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before cutting.
Enjoy!!
