Chocolate Chip Cookie Oreo Brownie Bars

I thought about titling this post, "Not Quite As Pretty As The Picture, But Still Super Yummy Chocolate Chip Cookie Oreo Brownie Bars," but that is just giving it away. Plus, it's a little long winded.

See the little Halloweeny twist snuck in there?

You see, I've been pinning these ridiculous looking dessert concoctions of multiple different treats wrapped into one on Pinterest. They are just so insane looking, my sister and I attempted one of these monsters tonight. And well, we went step by step according to Amanda's recipe on her blog, Kevin & Amanda. See?

I have to admit, more than once while baking, I used the oven light to peek at the treat. And at least half the times I looked, I wagered with myself that the next time I checked it, the sugary goodness would be spilling over the edge of the pan. This is a lot for one 9x13 inch pan to take. Two things I noticed: lots of brownie batter squeaked between the oreos, mixing in with the cookie dough, so the layers are not so apparent, as it just looks like one big brownie. Second, the middle took quite a while to bake, in our oven anyway. We should have left ours in for an hour or 5 minutes more because the middle was a little gooey, hence the crust piece pictured.

Needless to say, although it looks nothing as pretty as Amanda's picture, it had to have tasted just as incredible, you know, if you're into the chocolate chip cookie-Oreo-brownie sort of thing.
