My thoughts:

I saw Candy Cane Oreos at the shop too couldn't resist picking upwardly a box. I don't commonly purchase cookies but I volition acknowledge to a fondness for vacation Oreos, they are ever too therefore fresh tasting too I similar the seasonal designs. Unfortunately when I opened this box they were all messed upwardly looking! For a lot of the cookies the Oreo too vacation pattern side was facing inwards towards the cream filling too therefore the exterior was strange too flat. Some of the cookies but had one-half of the park filling, to a greater extent than or less had extra cookie bits protruding from the side of the cream filling (despite in that place beingness no broken cookies inwards the box) too even too therefore to a greater extent than had oddly uneven amounts of filling-half of the cookie would await normal too the other one-half was nearly flat. That's no fun! They tasted perfectly fine too therefore I didn't desire to toss them but they were non a cute every bit I was hoping. So I decided to brand something amongst them rather than eating them plain.

Most of the recipes for Oreo brownies I've seen telephone phone for a box mix but well, I'm already cooking amongst a store-bought cookie too therefore why would I desire to usage a mix for the brownie usage too? I know to a greater extent than or less people swear that brownie mix is fifty-fifty amend than homemade (gasp) but I don't intend y'all tin forcefulness out shell a homemade brownie made amongst luscious nighttime chocolate. You practise accept to melt that chocolate but it is easy, I swear too makes for better, richer brownies than y'all could promise for from a mix or from using cocoa alone.

I stirred inwards to a greater extent than or less candy canes to upwardly the mint flavor too necktie inwards the candy cane flavor of the Oreos too allow me say you, I accept never smelled batter that was that mint-chocolate-y before. Yum. The brownies themselves are intensely chocolate amongst hints of mint too a fudgey but non every bit good fudgey (or worse, dense), creamy texture.
