2. 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.
3. 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.

6. Let set up in fridge before cutting.
7. ** You can sprinkle some extra garnish of Oreo crumbs on top immediately after putting on the dipping chocolate if you wish.
