Oreo Truffle Brownies. ETCHES On The Stereo.

Of course I have made brownies before. I’ve also made Oreo Truffles. However, this is the first time I have tried a recipe that combines the two.

Instead of rolling all of those creamy Oreos into balls, you just smooth the concoction over a fudgy chocolate brownie layer. The whole mess then gets covered in a coating of chocolate. This is total chocolate madness of the very best kind.

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 (recipe follows)
Chocolate Layer (recipe follows)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan.

2. Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and blend well. Add vanilla, salt, cocoa and flour. Don’t overbeat.

3. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool completely.

Note: The truffle layer did not stick very well to my brownie layer when it came time to slice up the brownies. Next time I will pat the truffle layer on while the brownies are still warm so it adheres better. Still tasted amazing, but was not as gooey as the original recipe’s photo appeared to be.

4. When brownies are cool, pat on the Oreo truffle layer.

5. Evenly spread the melted chocolate over the top of Oreo truffle layer.

6. Let brownies set up in the refrigerator before cutting into small bars.

Makes a lot.
