Challenge 1: Slutty Brownies

I have a serious craving for chocolate right now so my first challenge is about Slutty Brownies. The only explanation for the recipe title that I can think of is that these brownies are easy, sinfully delicious, and may give you some type of disease (like food sickness.....or diabetes). I have made them at least five times, once to try and four as requests from my friends. I made them for a book publishing party for author Lindsey Brookes (www.lindseybrookes.com) when she sold her book "Jimmie Joe Johnson: Manwhore". I renamed the recipe "Manwhore Brownies" and the whole plate was gone by the time I left.

Prep time is only about 15 minutes and baking time is 45, so in an hour you have an unforgettable dessert.

Ingredients:
1- one package of chocolate chip cookie MIX, not dough.
2- one package of brownie mix
3- one package of double stuff Oreos

Steps:
1- Preheat the oven at 375 degrees.
2- Take a 9x13 inch pan and cover it with foil. This makes the brownies easier to take out.
3- Make the chocolate chip cookie mix as the package instructs. Take the mixture and spread it out on the bottom of the pan. This mix is the bottom layer.
4- Cover the chocolate chip cookie mix with one layer of Oreos. Make sure they are placed close together with minimal gaps. This is the second layer.
5- Make the brownie mix as the package instructs. Then, take the mixture and evenly pour/spread it out on top of the Oreos. The brownie mix should cover all of the Oreos and go to the edges of the pan.
6-Bake them for 40-45 minutes. It is really hard to judge when they are done, because the Oreos never really bake through. Instead they become a sort of fudge mixture in the middle. If you poke the brownies with a toothpick there should be some minimal crumbs on it. I once left them in for about 48 minutes and they were fine, this recipe is hard to burn. However, the longer you leave them in, the crunchier they get.

These brownies are delicious and easy to serve. When you cut them into squares, just use the Oreos  as your guide and you get perfect serving sizes. They are best if you eat them warm, so just put one in the microwave for 30 seconds.
