Someone on tumblr posted these amazing looking oreo brownies with whole oreos baked right into them. I decided right on the spot that I had to make them!

- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Package of oreos
- Jar of marshmallow creme (optional)
- Quick Chocolate Frosting (optional, recipe below)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- Melt butter in medium sauce pan. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar and cocoa. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the chocolate mixture until just blended. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Spread half the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Layer whole oreos on top of the batter, then top with the reaining batter.

- While still warm, spread marshmallow creme over top of the brownies, then pour Quick Chocolate Frosting on top Cool in pan on a wire rack.
Quick Chocolate Frosting
2/3 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons milk
3 Tablespoons butter or margarine
Mix and bring to boil; boil 30 seconds. Remove from heat; stir in 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate pieces til melted. Mixture will be thin.
The person I got the idea from also added 1/2 cup cookies and cream ice cream into the batter, but I found this made my brownies way too sweet. I think it's better to just add the chocolate chips and maybe some crushed up oreos into the batter instead of the ice cream.
