I made these Oreo Brownie Cupcakes for a birthday party recently and they were a hit! You can use any brand of brownie mix you want but I prefer to use Ghirardelli brownie mixes.
Oreo's are by far my favorite cookies to eat. I can eat a whole box in one sitting if my wife would let me. Combine my favorite cookie with chocolate brownies? Oh yes. If you are a chocolate lover, then you MUST try this recipe. Chocolate overload!
