Chocolate, cream cheese and Oreo cookies couldn't be bad, could they? If brownies are your favorite dessert, then make them even better with a melted chocolate layer on top. You will be glad that you did.
1 c. butter, softened
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 t. vanilla
½ c. unsweetened cocoa
1⅓ c. flour
½ t. salt
Oreo Truffle Layer
1 pkg. Double Stuffed Oreos
8 oz. cream cheese, softened, add more as needed
Chocolate layer
1½ c. milk chocolate chips
½ c. semi-sweet milk chocolate chips
1 T. shortening
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and blend well. Add vanilla, salt, cocoa and flour. Don’t overbeat. Pour into pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
While brownies are cooling, make Oreo truffle layer. Crush Oreos finely in a food processor or by putting them in a ziplock bag and smashing them until finely ground with a rolling pin. When Oreos are finely crushed, using hands, mash softened cream cheese and crushed Oreos until well combined. Start with 4 oz. and keep adding until desired consistency is reached. When brownies have cooled completely, place layer of Oreo truffle on top.
Chocolate Layer
Combine chocolate chips and shortening together in a medium microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between each increment until melted and smooth. Evenly spread over the top of Oreo Truffle layer.
Let set up in fridge before cutting.
** You can sprinkle some extra garnish of Oreo crumbs on top immediately after putting on the dipping chocolate if you wish.
