Oreo Brownies
Description
This Oreo Brownie recipe starts by melting unsweetened chocolate and butter together, creating a deep chocolate base. Sugar is whisked in, followed by eggs, vanilla, and salt, then flour is folded in gently to preserve tenderness. Chopped Oreo cookies are incorporated into the batter to add crunch and contrast. The batter is baked in an 8x8-inch pan until just set to maintain fudgy texture.
After cooling completely, the brownie is topped with a frosting made by creaming butter and adding confectioners' sugar, salt, vanilla, and milk, which is whipped to a fluffy consistency. More Oreo pieces are sprinkled over the frosting for a final decorative and textural element. These brownies provide a layered chocolate and Oreo experience with a moist interior and creamy topping.
The foil lining of the pan helps lifting the brownies out cleanly for slicing. Avoid overbaking to preserve fudginess.

Instructions

For the Frosting
