Ingredients
Scale
Cake and Cookies:
- 1 box brownie mix
- 1 box eggs (as required by brownie mix)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil (as required by brownie mix)
- 1/2 cup water (as required by brownie mix)
- 12 Birthday Cake Oreos
Chocolate Components:
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Decoration and Topping:
- 1/2 cup birthday cake-flavored sprinkles
- 1 can vanilla frosting
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F and coat a rectangular baking pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the brownie mixture according to the package directions, ensuring a smooth and consistent batter.
- Gently transfer half of the chocolate batter into the prepared pan, creating an even base layer.
- Strategically arrange Birthday Cake Oreo cookies across the initial batter layer, covering the surface completely.
- Carefully pour the remaining brownie batter over the Oreo cookies, using a spatula to spread the mixture evenly and conceal the cookies.
- Generously scatter chocolate chips and colorful birthday cake sprinkles across the top of the batter, creating a festive and decorative finish.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge with minimal moist crumbs.
- After removing from the oven, allow the brownies to cool completely at room temperature.
- Optional: Once cooled, apply a smooth layer of vanilla frosting across the entire surface for an extra luxurious touch.
- Cut into square portions, serve, and savor the decadent dessert.
Notes
- Swap out regular Oreos for gluten-free versions to make this recipe celiac-friendly and inclusive for those with dietary restrictions.
- Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes if you prefer gooey, fudgy brownies with a softer texture that melts in your mouth.
- Customize the topping by using different sprinkle colors to match party themes or seasonal celebrations, making the dessert more personalized and festive.
- For a lighter version, substitute some butter with applesauce and use dark chocolate chips to cut down on calories while maintaining rich flavor.
