oreo brownies.

i love oreo like nothing else. i almost always get oreo concretes when we get ice cream. it is my favorite. i also am addicted to those white fudge dipped oreos that come out around christmas time. holy cow. those are phenomenal, right?

when i was younger, there was something out there called oreo brownies. it was a box mix. i think betty crocker made it. they were awesome. brownies with a oreo cookie topping and white icing drizzled across. i remember having my sister make them for me for my birthday one year. she's pretty sweet like that. only for whatever reason, i don't think they make them any more. at least they don't sell them here. so when i saw this recipe on my new FAVORITE baking blog, i almost died. i couldn't wait to try them but i kept putting it off, for fear i might eat the whole pan -- not that i would really do that but why even put myself in that situation, right? 

so yesterday, when i was supposed to be writing a paper that was due today, i decided i couldn't wait any longer. i needed to make these right then and there.

oreo brownies + printable version 
-- recipe found at confessions of a cookbook queen

26 to 28 oreos, coarsely chopped
2 TBS butter, melted
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (i used milk chocolate)
1/2 cup vanilla or white chocolate chips
3/4 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (i don't like nuts -- so i didn't use these)
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

preheat oven to 350 degrees. line an 8x8 pan with foil, leaving a little bit over the edges. lightly grease. 

in a large bowl, mix melted butter with chopped oreos. 


spread half oreo mixture on the bottom of the pan. next, layer both types of chips, marshmallows, and nuts. cover with the remaining oreo mixture. 

pour sweetened condensed milk all over the surface of the entire mixture. 

bake for 28-30 minutes or until golden brown. cool to room temperature. remove foil and cut into squares (i stuck my pan in the freezer for about 15 minutes to help pull off the foil).
