OREO TRUFFLE BROWNIES


INGREDIENTS :
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
½ cup unsweetened cocoa
1⅓ cups flour
½ tsp. salt
 
Oreo Truffle Layer
1 pkg. Double Stuffed Oreos
6-8 oz. cream cheese, softened, add more as needed
 
Chocolate layer
1½ cups milk chocolate chips
½ cup semi-sweet milk chocolate chips
1 Tablespoon shortening
 
INSTRUCTIONS :
Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and blend well. Add vanilla, salt, cocoa and flour. Don’t overbeat. Pour into a greased 9X13 pan. Bake at 350 F 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 (or a spoon, I just think hands are faster), 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 into.
