Ingredients
For the brownies
- 1 (12-ounce) bag ( 340 g ) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup ( 227 g ) butter
- 1 ½ cups ( 318 g ) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups ( 213 g ) flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
Oreo Truffle and Topping
- 26 Oreo or other chocolate-sandwich cookies
- 8 ounces ( 227 g ) cream cheese , light or regular, softened
- 4 ounces ( 113 g ) white chocolate or white almond bark
Instructions
- For the brownies, preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips. Stir constantly and remove from heat when the chocolate is fully melted. In the same pot, whisk in the sugar and vanilla. Then add eggs, blending fully one at a time. Add the flour and salt and stir until well combined. Pour the batter into a greased 9 X 13-inch pan. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn the heat down to 325 degrees and bake for 10 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely.
- For the Oreo truffle topping, crush the Oreo cookies and mix with the softened cream cheese until the mixture is well-combined. Lightly press the Oreo truffle mixture over the cooled brownies.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate or almond bark on low power at 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Pour the chocolate into the corner of a ziploc bag. Carefully snip a small piece off the corner and drizzle the chocolate across the brownies. Alternately, you can cut the brownies into squares and then drizzle with the chocolate. Chill the brownies in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set (10-20 minutes). Cut into slices and serve. In my opinion, these brownies taste best chilled but you can also serve them at room temperature.
Cool the pan before you lift the squares.
