how to make Halloween Oreo stuffed brownies
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 2 eggs (cold)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 15 Oreos (extra 5 for topping)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, oil, and both sugars together. Do this in 30-second intervals, mixing after each time. Once melted completely, microwave for another minute and stir vigorously to help the sugar dissolve.
- Using a mixer, whisk in the eggs one at a time. Then add the vanilla extract. The batter should start to pull away from the bowl slightly.
- Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Place the Oreos in the center of the batter. Then, top with the remaining brownie batter, spreading it to cover the Oreos completely.
- Crush the extra 5 Oreos and sprinkle them on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Let the brownies cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This helps to achieve the perfect square crinkle top slice.
