Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine Oreo crumbs and melted butter.
- Press firmly into a 13 x 9-inch greased pan to form the crust.

- Pour the chocolate mixture evenly over the prepared crust.
- Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until set at 350°F (175°C).
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. If you want a crunchier texture, add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans. To make this recipe easier, use pre-packaged Oreo crumbs instead of chopping the cookies yourself. If you're looking for a different flavor, consider incorporating peanut butter chips or a drizzle of caramel on top.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Oreo brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. They pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee. For a fun twist, top with whipped cream and crushed Oreos for added texture. For more delicious dessert ideas, browse more American recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of cookies instead of Oreos?
Yes, you can substitute Oreos with other sandwich cookies like chocolate or vanilla cream cookies. Just ensure they're similar in texture to get the right crust consistency. This will give your brownies a unique flavor while still being delicious.
How do I know when the brownies are done baking?
The brownies are done when the edges are set and the center is slightly soft but not liquid. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached but not wet batter. Keep in mind that they will continue to set as they cool.
Can I make these brownies ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make the brownies a day in advance. Just allow them to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They will stay fresh and delicious, making them a perfect make-ahead treat for gatherings or special occasions.
