In my time I’ve made loads of birthday cakes. The turret with ghosts, the bag of sweets – overflowing with sweet shop sweets, the toadstool even Tracy Island complete with rockets and open hatch in the mountain. So, when one of the Glam Teens said that he’d been thinking about what he wanted for a birthday cake, I was surprised he chose white chocolate brownies. However to make them extra special I followed Erika Beth’s fabulous idea and layered them with Oreos.
Oreo Stuffed Brownies
- 140g unsalted butter
- 400g light brown muscovado sugar (Dark brown is fine but gives a more treacle flavour)
- 1 teaspoon real vanilla essence or vanilla paste
- 150g good quality white chocolate
- 185g double filled Oreos (single fill is fine) about 1 and 1/2 packets
- 3 large eggs beaten
- a pinch of salt
- 300g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Method
- Grease a brownie tin and line with baking paper/parchment
- Heat the oven to 180c / 350f / gas mark 4
- Melt the white chocolate over a double boiler, make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl with the chocolate, as white chocolate freezes very easily
- Melt the butter in a large heavy bottomed saucepan, then add the sugar and mix together
- Remove from the heat. Leave to cool for about 1 minute, add the white chocolate, beaten eggs and vanilla essence. Stir well to combine the ingredients. Do not beat.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into the chocolate and egg mixture. Just combine but do not over stir
- Pour half the mixture into the tin and ease it into the corners
- Place a layer of Oreos over the top of the layer of batter, I place them about 0.5cm apart, but they can butt up against each other
- Pour the remaining mixture over the Oreos, you may have to use a palette knife to help spread the mixture to ensure the Oreos are covered
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until the mix looks like it is just browning at the edges but is still soft in the middle
- Remove from the oven and cool slightly (15 minutes) in the tin
- Remove from the tin using the excess baking parchment to help lift it and cool on a wire rack with the paper still on
- When cool, remove the paper and cut into bars or squares.
- Store in an air tight tin
That looks deliciously, decadent!! Perfect for the holidays, GG 🙂
Very decadent! But really tasty. GG
Oh yum! T’is the season for such goodies!
Wrapped in carefully folded greaseproof paper these can be great gifts. GG
Ooh I’m making something similar but different (if that makes sense). I love your bag of sweets cake too! 🙂
I can’t wait to see what you are going to add to the brownies. GG
How I love Oreos, but I’ve never had them in brownies. Yummy!
*kisses* HH
I love Oreos too but I’m sure this would work with several different centres, Mars Bars? GG
Ooooh….Mars Bars! I am all over that! They look delicious, much more decadent than the ones I had last night (my daughter made some from a mix…not the same)
Will have to make them soon. Happy holiday baking!
I’ve just bought mini mars to give it a go. I used to use a Ghiordelli mix, in fact those were the first brownies I ever had. They were good, but you’re right not the same as made from scratch. GG
Oh dear- these could turn into a bad habit quickly. I love oreos and I just can’t even imagine how good they must be combined with brownie!
Mmm, they are the Glam Teens’ favourites. GG
I am sure a lot of kids will be after you if they see these; especially those Oreo-loving ones 😀
The Glam Teens love them and I have often wrapped them as ‘thank you’ gifts. GG
I still haven’t tasted Oreo. I have been told they were dangerously addictive… Your brownies look luscious and I can only imagine all the Oreo fans going crazy for them!
Oreos are very chocolatey, dark and luscious. They go with the White chocolate sweetness brilliantly. GG
this is a whole new level! I wish I had some
They are good. GG
—Unbelievable. Dreamy. My Ass loves these Brownies :))) WOW
Thank you, you’re right they are only for a treat. GG
Dear GG,
I’m a baking tragic so I’m happy to admire your beautiful brownies although white chocolate is also a favourite of mine to be eaten on its own.
These are so easy anyone can make them. GG
Brownies and oreos – great combination. Add some cheesecake too if you want to be even more indulgent! I’m sure everyone loved these. Love the bag of sweets cake too.
Do you mean cheesecake icing? Totally indulgent! GG
I think the web site is broken. I cant find the click to buy now button anywhere:))
That’s not a bad idea, perhaps I should look into that! 🙂 GG
Oh wow what a pleasant surprise when you bite into your brownie.
Sticky, crunchy and creamy. Works really well! GG
