I purchased "Bliss" last month, and found this recipe for Oreo Brownies. Since Oreos are my fave store bought cookie, and I love brownies, I had to give this recipe a try. They were quick to put together and a real kid pleaser. More like a bar cookie than a brownie, similar to Nordy Bars. Great for an easy semi-home made treat.
The cookbook: I loved the clean look of this book. Love that's it's a local author (Utah) and thought A Bountiful Kitchen readers would love it too. Great cookbook to add to your collection!

Oreo Brownies
1 package Oreo cookies, chopped
4 tablespoons butter, melted1 cup chocolate chips, milk or dark
1 cup vanilla or white chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
Preheat oven to 350.
Line an 9 x 13 pan with foil, leaving an overhang of foil around the edges. Lightly grease the pan.
In a large bowl, mix the chopped cookies with the butter. Pour half the mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the chips, marshmallows, and nuts. Top with the remaining cookie mixture. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool to room temperature and lift the bars from the pan. Peel back the foil and cut into serving pieces.
Tips:
-I omitted the nuts, partly bc I thought most kids don't love nuts, and partly bc I thought nuts with this combo didn't sound good.
-I used closer to 1 1/2 cups each of choc chips and white chips, and used closer to 2 cups marshmallows total.
-Also, think I would like this better cooked in an 8x8 or 9x9 pan, the brownies were a little on the thin side for me.
Flowering pear trees...LOVE those blossoms! This cookbook looks so fun!
ReplyDeleteWalks along the golf course during the day with my girls, (1&3)
ReplyDeleteNo more sweaters, socks, turning up the heat, no more "wishing" we could go outside....REAL WALKS...
No brainer...freezing at high school baseball games!
ReplyDeleteI love being able to play outside with my boys! :)
ReplyDeleteMy very favorite thing about Spring is the parallel it draws from Winter---Winter allows the rain and snow, for a couple of months, from dark, threatening clouds. Then, as if nothing ever happened, we rise to a perfectly sunny, cloudless day. A lovely, clean slate from the seemingly neverending cold. Forgiveness.
ReplyDeleteIt is my favorite time of year.
My favorite thing about spring is watching the world come alive. I'm already seeing my hyacinths poking out of the ground. And I know more will follow quickly. And this Spring, I'm especially looking forward to enjoying my second trimester of pregnancy and welcoming a little girl this summer!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog - I'll be back!

I love spring because the world finally wakes up after the long, dark winter! I love this spring especially because my baby is due! yay!
ReplyDeleteSpring is all about tulips, crocus, and anemones to me!
ReplyDeleteI love spring because you never know what we're going to wake up to. It could be sunny, 45 degree's or a snowy blizzard. I enjoy both kinds of days- walking with the kids to the park or putting on a snowboard to catch the last days of winter!
ReplyDeletePussy willows and kids who swear its warm enough they don't need a jacket...
