beautifulduckweedFact: Crushed pieces of Oreo cookies are awesome in just about every conceivable sort of dessert, including brownies.
Another fact: Crushes pieces of Oreo cookies are also awesome ON TOP of brownies.
Why in the hell aren't there more Oreo brownies out there? What's wrong with people?
Anyway, here's a recipe, for those of you are interested in PURE MOTHERFUCKING AWESOME IN A PAN:
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (I used three lines of Trader Joe's Pound Plus 72% Dark Belgian chocolate, which amounted to about 6.6 ounces)
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped (Scharffen Berger, baby)
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar (you can use white sugar, but dark brown sugar intensifies the flavor, isn't quite as sweet and makes everything moister and happier. You can also decrease the mixture by 1/4 cup if you like your brownies really bittersweet)
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup crushed Oreo pieces (I used the Trader Joe's knock-offs, which are even better than Oreos)
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt butter and chocolate in a double boiler or (if you're lazy like me) in the microwave. Let mixture cool.
2. Whip eggs until foamy. Add sugar, salt and vanilla essence; mix well.
3. Add chocolate mixture and stir thoroughly.
4. Add flour, fold/stir until just combined.
5. Add chocolate chips and 1/4 cup Oreo pieces. Sprinkle remaining Oreo pieces on top. Pour into 9 x 13 pan or 10" springform.
6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until tester inserted in middle of brownie comes out with moist crumbs attached. Allow to cool in the pan about 20 minutes, then dig in. Serve with vanilla ice-cream and/or whipped cream. Sliced strawberries or fresh raspberries optional, but increases awesomeness exponentially.
