Instructions

For the Brownies:

1. Preheat the oven to 350℉ (177℃). Line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving about 2-inches hanging over the sides and spray with non-stick spray. Set aside.
2. Place chopped chocolate and cubed butter in a large heat-safe bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir constantly until the butter and chocolate are both melted and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Remove bowl from heat and immediately add both sugars. Whisk until sugars are dissolved and mixture is smooth. Use your fingertip to check the temperature of the batter to make sure it's not too hot---if it is, allow it to cool down for a few minutes until it is just warm. This is to make sure the eggs don't curdle when added.
4. Once the batter cools down, add the eggs, egg yolk and vanilla and slowly whisk until combined. Do not over-mix. Add flour, cocoa, and salt and stir with a rubber spatula until well combined.
5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Place Oreos on top of the batter side-by-side. Pour the rest of the batter on top and spread into an even layer to cover the Oreos.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the brownie comes out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter. Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

For the Cookies and Cream Fudge:

1. Add sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips to a medium bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and heat on medium-low, stirring constantly until chocolate is fully melted and mixture is combined and smooth. Remove from heat and fold in chopped Oreos.
2. Spread fudge over cooled brownies and place in the refrigerator to set, about 2 hours.

For the Topping:

1. Scrape (or lick) the filling out of 6 Oreos. Put Oreos in a food processor, or in a ziploc bag using a rolling pin, and crush into fine crumbs, you should have 1/2 cup. Set aside.
2. Add white chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of shortening to a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each until completely melted and smooth. Stir in Oreo crumbs and spread over fudge layer. Return to refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
3. Once everything is set, lift the brownies out of the pan and cut into even squares. Garnish with cool whip and half an Oreo. Serve and Enjoy!
