Oreo Stuffed Brownies

I have a weakness for Oreos. And I’ve never met a brownie I didn’t like. So when I saw this recipe for a brownie stuffed with an Oreo cookie, it didn’t matter if it was the middle of the night – these Oreo stuffed brownies needed to be made!

There’s not a lot of ingredients needed to make these fudgy, decadent brownies. The hardest part is waiting for them to cool off! If you like your brownies warm, you will need to be careful as the cookie center does take a bit longer to cool off than the rest of the brownie.

One of the great things about this recipe is that you can swap out flavors of Oreos. Not only are the original Oreos awesome, but personally I like using the mint and the peanut butter pie flavors.

I think the Java Chip and the limited edition salted caramel brownie flavors would be amazing as well! And, you could always use the orange colored cream filled ones if you wanted a dessert with an October feel to it.

It’s the start of fall, which means apples are in abundance. Chocolate covered apple slices on a stick are such a tasty way to eat them!

Not only are they super easy to make, kids will have fun creating their own sweet treat they can adjust to their own tastes too!

Decorate with all kinds of toppings including mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, mini m&ms, there are so many possibilities. Or, keep them simple with just chocolate and maybe a little caramel.

They look so festive when finished – so these would also be fun to make at a kids fall Birthday party! Just keep in mind the more you make, the more chocolate you will need, as that is the “topping” that disappears the quickest.

There’s just a few ingredients needed, and these decadent, family pleasing apple slices are wonderful for portion control too.

These would make for a fun activity at Thanksgiving for kids who aren’t a fan of pies too! Easy and yummy, it’s the perfect recipe for fall.

Whether you need something in a hurry or are planning ahead, this is such an easy sweet treat to make. Once the whipped topping is put on, the addition of toffee bits and swirl of extra caramel makes for an impressive presentation.

While it is super easy to make, you will want to allow time for this dessert to chill. So be sure to plan ahead so that it has at least 4 hours to hang out in the fridge to make it perfect for serving.

And, this would also make for a GREAT dessert at Thanksgiving for any non-pie fans out there. It’s such a yummy alternative, and you can always make it the night before!
