Ingredients
  • For the Brownies
  • 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate bars*
  • ⅔ cup butter-flavored Crisco (shortening), plus more for greasing the pan
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1¼ cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 10 Oreos, roughly chopped into pieces
  • For the Oreo Truffle Layer
  • 20 Oreos
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • For the Milk Chocolate Topping
  • 1½ cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon Crisco
  • 5 Oreos
Instructions
  1. Make the Brownies: Heat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x13 inch pan with a thin layer of shortening and line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Melt the unsweetened chocolate and ⅔ cup Crisco in a large saucepan over medium heat until just melted. Remove from heat and whisk in the sugar and vanilla.
  3. Allow the mixture to sit for 3-5 minutes then whisk in the eggs, one at a time until fully combined.
  4. Fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Spread half the batter into the prepared pan and top with the chopped Oreo cookies. Top with remaining batter and using an offset spatula spread the batter into a single, even layer.
  5. Bake the brownies for 30-minutes. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature before adding the truffle layer.
  6. Make the Oreo Truffle:. In a food processor, pulse the Oreos until crumb forms. Add the cream cheese and continue to pulse until fully combined. Turn the mixture out onto a large sheet of parchment paper and using a rolling pin, roll the mixture into a thin layer measure 9 inches x 13 inches. Once the brownies have cooled to room temperature, invert the parchment paper on top of the brownies and press the truffle layer into place.
  7. Make the Milk Chocolate Topping:. In a double boiler, melt the milk chocolate chips and shortening, stirring constantly. Go slowly so as not to burn the chocolate. Pour the melted mixture on top of the truffle-layered brownies and smooth it into a single, even layer. Sprinkle the Oreo cookie crumbs on top and let everything sit until the chocolate has hardened (~2 hours) before slicing. Slice into squares and serve. If you want clean lines without splintering the chocolate when you slice into them, then you should let the chocolate harden at room temperature for about 2 hours before cutting.
  8. Store cut brownies in the fridge for 3-5 days.
Notes
*Unsweetened Chocolate: These are unsweetened chocolate bars found in the baking aisle. If you cannot find unsweetened chocolate bars, you substitute 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder & 1 tablespoon of shortening (Crisco) for each ounce of chocolate.
