Oreo Brownies

I mentioned that the other day, I made some Oreo Brownies for our neighbors. A cooking friend found the recipe from Eat Me, Delicious Blog. The brownies looked beautiful, and I had all the ingredients on hand, so I went for it. These brownies are super, super rich. A small piece is really all you need. They were almost too rich for me. Made mostly of chocolate, butter, and Oreos, that's not suprising! They were really fun to make, and they are impressive-looking, with all of those large oreo chunks peeking through. Make sure you cut your oreos into big pieces- I cut most of them into thirds and some into fourths. These brownies really are easier to cut cold- but I liked to eat them at room temp. You really need some milk with these!
