Red Velvet Oreo Cookie Dough Brownies

Seriously you guys. I baked up brownies from scratch.  Then topped them with cookie dough frosting filled with red velvet Oreos!

Whaaatttt???

Yes, it's true. And it's delicious.

Red Velvet Oreo Cookie Dough Brownies

Ingredients

For the brownies:
1 4oz package Baker's unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 cup flour
1 tsp vanilla

For the frosting:
1 stick butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 tsp vanilla
10 Red Velvet Oreos, crushed

1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 13x9 pan.  In a microwave safe bowl, heat butter and chocolate for 2 minutes.  Stir until chocolate is melted.  Add sugar, eggs, flour and vanilla.  Mix until combined. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool completely before frosting.

2. Using a mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add milk, flour, and vanilla until frosting becomes a spreadable consistency. Stir in Oreos.  Spread frosting onto cooled brownies.

Side note- look how ridiculously tiny this package of Oreos is. 10 oz!! The package is no longer a rectangle, it's square.  Also, as exciting as the name sounds regular Oreos still reign supreme.

They do a great job with the filling though.  It really does taste like cream cheese frosting.

These brownies would be the perfect ultimate indulgence for Valentine's Day or a Monday. 

You decide.

Oreo Treat Bars

This recipe is basically a giant sugar rush.

It's a take on Rice Krispie treats, but using Oreos in place of the cereal.

Ingredients

1 box Oreo cookies, crushed

5 cups marshmallows

4 tbsp butter

1. Melt marshmallows and butter in a microwave safe bowl.  Mix in crushed Oreos.

2. Press into a buttered 8x8 inch pan.  Let set up in the fridge to cool.  Cut into squares.

I topped my bars with sprinkles to make them a little more festive.

These were a huge hit with my prek class!  I would love to try these with peanut butter Oreos because well everything is better with peanut butter.
