I love brownies and have been wanting to make this idea I’ve had for the last few weeks now. I finally decided this morning to do it. I had all intentions of making homemade brownies, but ran out of time and grabbed my handy box mix. You can use this same concept with your favorite homemade brownie mix. Cookies and cream is one of my favorite combos and talk about yummy swirled in these brownies, I knew it would be fantastic !
As if that wasn’t good enough, I’ve frosted them with a decadent chocolate peanut butter ganache that will have you licking the bowl! I gotta run, my little guy is having a hay day with the goldfish all over my carpet! Enjoy everyone!!

Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix 9x13 size
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 10 Oreos broken into pieces
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons half and half
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions and place into a 9x7 inch baking dish that has been lined with tin foil and sprayed with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Stir in Oreo Cookie pieces until combined. Using a spoon, spoon cookies and cream mixture evenly over brownie mix. Using a knife, gently swirl cookies and cream into brownies without scraping the bottom of the dish. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean from center. Cool completely.
- Place chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for about 1 minute. Stir in peanut butter and stir chocolate chips until smooth. Place back in the microwave for 15-30 more seconds if not smooth. Stir in half and half until glossy smooth, then spread over cooled brownies. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
**I like a thicker brownie, so I use the smaller baking dish, but you can use the 9x13 inch size as well.**

Hello~
I just wanted to let you know that I found your blog via Karen over at http://dobetter.wordpress.com and I think it’s fantastic. All of your recipes looks great, and I just made the brownies for a family bbq tonight…Soo decadent!
Thanks for all of the great ideas.
I made these yummy brownies!! They were a winner with my family! We love them. Will make again!! Thanks love your blog!
yum! absolutely decadent!
Oh……my……goodness…..
Yum! I made these last night and they were amazing. As my husband was eating them he actually said, “I want to eat these until I get so fat I explode.” Take that as a great compliment.
YUMMM! I think I’ll have to make those in 6 months from now, haha I have baked so much lately, I’d probably be in trouble. Those look really good.
Hey girl!
Well, I am going to make the brownies today. I will give you an update later. Wish me luck….Love Mona
Jenny,
These look fantastic. Thought I’d let you know that at Smart n Final they have a huge carton of oreo crumbs for about $12. I vacuum seal them and store them and they are great…just like the crumbled cookies but much cheaper and I am not as tempted to just eat them plain!
I made these Sunday night for my husband and holy cow–they are awesome! Such a good recipe! Thanks!
Oh yum yum! We all LOVE chocolate and peanut butter. Will have to put this on my list to try.
Jenny:
What a yummy treat! How do you decide which recipes to share and which to save for contests? Your last two brownies have seemed very contest worthy!
Oh.my.word…I believe I’ll be making these…
Do you find that the crunchy peanut butter is just as good as smooth if you want a “nutty” bite? I love peanut butter, but only have crunchy.
Oh, gosh. I wish I had an oven so I could bake these. Maybe I could do it in a microwave…Nahh.
Hey Jenny… I just stubbled onto your blog and can I just say that your brownies had me at hello!!They look SO yummy. I might even need to make a grocery run and pick up some Oreos! Thanks for sharing great recipes for all of us bakers.
Brownies with Oreo cookies and peanut butter…mmm… They look so good!
Oooo cookies and cream in a brownie-that sounds so good! I’ll bet eating them warm with a scoop of ice cream and a little hot fudge sauce would be divine!
Seriously thee BEST brownies I’ve ever had. I have to make some for Aaron!! Thanks again for bringing me one!
Wow. That is all I can say. Wow.
Jenny- you’re seriously ruining my diet. I have all of those ingredients in my kitchen, and it’s a rainy day to boot. Perfect for baking! I don’t usually do the doctored up brownie mix thing but this does look droolworthy!!
My Sweet & Saucy,
I love peanut butter, so you’ll find I that I use it in most of my desserts. It’s too good not to!

Cookies and cream is one of my favorite things! These look like heaven!!
Oh Jenny…you’ve gone and done it again. I need to make these now! I don’t think that these would last long in my house!
These look like another winner! I love the addition of the peanut butter ganache…my favorite!
I do have left-overs Stephanie!

Just a few bites is plenty! Oh so worth it.
Hi Patsy,
I didn’t know Ina did an Oreo brownie, now I’m going to have to make hers too!
Wow those look great! I just made Ina Garten’s oreo brownies last night, so decadent… I’m sure yours are even more so with the ganache!
I’m getting a tummy ache just reading your post! Yum. Double yum.
Oh My! Can I be your neighbor & you can bring me treats?
