Chocolate Chip Oreo Brownies

OH YEAH...I made them this past weekend for a football party and they were a bunch of melt in your mouth yummy goodness and HUGE HIT.  Find the original recipe over here at KEVIN & AMANDA's blog.

PREP TIME: 20 MINUTES

READY IN: 1 HOUR & 20 MINUTES

YIELDS: APPROX. 2 DOZEN SERVINGS

  

INGREDIENTS

1 tub Nestle Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

1 package Double Stuff Oreos

1 package brownie mix (I used Betty Crocker Original Supreme)

       

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 baking dish.  Layer bottom of baking dish with cookie dough (I had to put mine in the microwave for about 1 minute to soften enough to spread).  Layer oreos on top of cookie dough.  Prepare brownie mix according to box.  Pour brownie mix over the cookie dough/oreo layers.  Bake for 55 minutes or until solid in the middle.

Thinking Fall Thoughts

The beginning of this week there was just barely a *hint* of coolness in the breeze in Charleston.  It was a very noticeable difference compared to the opressive heat and humidity of late.  Granted it only lasted about two days, early in the morning, it gave a nice sneak peak into the upcoming months.  Media, stores, fashion, home decor, etc. seem to think we are already in late November and soon will have Christmas cards and decorations in stock so there have been plenty of items to spark my nostalgia for cool fall days.  Here are a few of my favorite things, what are some of yours? 

I can't wait to jump into my favorite JCREW lounge clothes
