Triple Layer Cookies and Cream Crunch Bars

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 20 oreo cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour an 8x8 cake pan. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Add in cocoa powder and mix until combined. Add flour and salt, mixing well until batter is smooth and comes together. Fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
Spread in the 8 x 8 pan. Sink 9 Oreo cookies into the batter and press gently. Bake for 25-30 minutes. While baking, crush the remaining Oreos in a ziplock bag. When brownies are finished baking, remove from the oven and sprinkle with 1/2 cup chocolate chips and crushed Oreos. Place back in the oven for about 2-3 minutes. During this time, melt remaining chocolate chips and peanut butter together. Remove brownies from oven and pour melted chocolate mixture over top, spreading with a spatula. Make sure chocolate gets down into the Oreo crevices, as it is the “glue” that holds the top to the bottom. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving.
Let brownies sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before cutting. Don’t worry if some of the cookies spill out from the middle or the top cracks – they are still delicious
