Messy Brownies

These brownies are very messy, but they are oh so good. We start with some brownie batter, top with a layer of Oreos, pour on a mixture of Nutella and sweetened condensed milk, and then finish with more brownie batter. What happens is almost indescribable. They may be messy, but they are oh so good. You get the fudgy from the brownie, the oreo gets soft and you have that great filling, and the nutella/sweetened condensed milk turns into this caramely goodness that seems to both sink to the bottom and float to the top all at the same time. All I know is that I will be making these again, and you should definitely make them. And then you should find friends to share with because it can't be good to eat all these yourself.  

My Oreo filling is colorful because I used the cake batter Oreos celebrating Oreo's 100 birthday. Regular Oreos will work just fine. You can't taste the Nutella all that much, but the texture it brings is great. I might use peanut butter or Biscoff next time for a different treat. I also used a box mix for the brownie batter because I was all out of cocoa, so use a box or make your own. I love my normal brownie recipe, but you should use your favorite or whatever is easiest and fastest for you. Don't delay in making these!

1 recipe for brownies or 1 box mix

1/2 can sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup Nutella

16 Oreo cookies (Double Stuff)

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.  

Generously grease a 9x9 pan with cooking spray. Mix your brownie batter together according to the directions and pour half the mixture in the pan, spreading it out into the corners. Arrange your Oreos on top of the batter. In a small bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and Nutella.  Pour this over the Oreos, making sure that it gets on top of and in between the cookies. Spread the rest of the brownie batter on top, covering everything. I had a few spots that were uncovered, but do your best. Bake for 33-38 minutes until you can gently shake the pan and the center is mostly set. Let cool before slicing.
