Outrageous Oreo Crunch Brownies
Now these brownies are just dangerous. It made a huge 9x13 pan (and this was halving the recipe) and I ended up freezing most of them. And now for the past couple of months I've been slowly nibbling away at my stash. I love eating them frozen - they're so fudgey, rich and chocolatey. Yum yum dangerous. Of course they're delicious at room temperature too.
Oh and guess what? I finally got the Baker's Edge Brownie Pan!!! I've yet to use it but can't wait to try it out. Mind you when I use it I'm going to want to eat the whole pan because brownie edge pieces are really hard to resist. Actually I'm thinking about making Peabody's snickerdoodle blondies in it. How good do those look?

OH MY GOSH! Those would be dangerous in this house for sure! Do they ever look GOOD! A must-try for me!
These look fabulous! I love how rich and chocolaty they are.
These look as dense as fudge!! What a deliciously decadent Valentine's treat. When has Ina ever been wrong? :D
Just took the brownies out of the oven - can´t wait for them to cool down!
I can totally understand why these are dangerous--and I don't even like oreos!! Hope you enjoyed a nibble on V-Day (frozen or not!). :)
What a great idea - I confess I would cheat and use the box mix with the oreos... Shhhhh
Thanks for the tip!
I love oreos and I can't imagine how good they must be in brownies. YUM...
Gorgeous !
But you seemed to forget to halve the flour in your recipe..:)
oh yes please - I love a recipe with outrageous in the title - they sound decadently delightful!
Time to throw away my bathroom scales! I'll happily eat these for the rest of my life!
OMG, Ina's brownies are already my favorites but adding Oreos - what a great idea! I have half an open package in the pantry, I think they have just found their purpose!
pepsakoy: Oh no! =( I hope I haven't ruined anyone's brownies now... thank you so much for pointing that out! I've updated the recipe.
Anonymous: I hope they turned out well for you! I stupidly forgot to half the flour when writing out the recipe... so I'm really hoping they turned out okay for you. =(
Hmm... Sounds really good!
But how much grams is a stick of butter? Should it be melted?
Sefi: There's a really great butter converter here: www.traditionaloven.com/conversions_of_measures/butter_converter.html. 1 stick = 113.4 grams.
Sefi: Oh and yes you do end up melting the butter as you'll see in the second paragraph of the recipe. It's not pre-melted or anything though.
let's be serious--anything made with oreos is dangerous. :)
i, for one, am looking forward to those snickerdoodle blondies in your special pan!
I think I could only make these if I was baking for a large group, as I would eat myself sick otherwise. They look AMAZING, though.
oh these pictures are taunting me! i need these brownies right now; they look soooo good. ultimate comfort food.
