Project Pinterest: Chocolate Chip Oreo Brownies

The infamous Valentine's Day dessert. Chocolate Chip Oreo Brownies.

I pinned these a long time ago - and by a long time, I mean a few weeks, but seriously, that's a long time to wait for a dessert!

Now, chocolate chip oreo brownies does sound a bit extreme, but doesn't that just look fabulous! And the layer of brownies hasn't even gone on top yet!

You can find the original recipe here, on The Londoner.

I did make some changes:

• I used the cookie and brownie mixes that were in the bags instead of the boxed ones, because they were on sale this week. I guess I could have done the from scratched cookies and brownies, but that would have taken a lot longer, and it was a Tuesday! 
• I only bought one package of Oreos, because I didn't want any extra Oreos hanging around my kitchen, because then I would have eaten them! (As a side note - Oreos and potato chips...any one else love this combination as much as I do?)
• My oven took much longer to cook, about 45 minutes. But that could be my oven, I've been having trouble with everything I've cooked lately taking forever!

You can just see a few Oreos peeking up under the brownie. I couldn't wait to cut into them, but I did...because I was driving all over Chicago trying to track down my Valentine's Day flowers!

(Sorry this one is a little overexposed, I was flustered with the flower drama!)

This is what it looks like when you cut into them...chocolate chip oreo brownie goodness. I can't wait to have another one!

These turned out AMAZING! AJ had one bite and was floored by how yummy they are, then he ate up the rest of his piece! The only thing that would have made this better would have been if I was able to stop eating long enough to get myself a nice tall glass of milk or a hot cup of tea to go along with it, but it was too delicious and I couldn't walk away from my plate to go to the kitchen...also because I was afraid AJ would steal some of my piece! Definitely a win for Pinterest! I will be making these again...but not until after we get back from out vacation! I can't be eating these all the time and attempt to go outside in a bikini!
