Ingredients:

165g butter, plus extra for greasing

200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa works well), grated or finely chopped

3 eggs

2 egg yolks

2 tsp vanilla extract

165g soft light brown sugar

2 tbsp plain flour

1 tbsp cocoa powder

Pinch of salt

154g pack of oreo biscuits (1 single pack), broken into quarters

Rectangular baking tin

Method:

 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F), grease the baking tin & line with baking parchment with the

paper overlapping the sides a little

2. Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat, when the butter has melted remove the pan from the

heat and add the grated/chopped chocolate & stir until the mixture is smooth

3. Whisk the eggs, egg yolks and vanilla extract together in a large bowl until they are light and fluffy

4. Add the sugar in two additions whisking between each, whisk until the mixture becomes stiff

5. Once the egg mixture is ready pour the chocolate into it

6. Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt and a third of the oreo’s and stir until fully combined

7. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin & scatter the remaining oreo’s over the top pressing them

into the mixture slightly

8. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, I’ve taken them out sometimes after 15 minutes if I have had

oven preheating awhile

9. The middle of the brownies should be slightly gooey, after removing them from the oven pull the

brownies out using the overlapping paper and allow to cool.

10. Cut into squares/rectangles once cool and dust with icing sugar.
