Halloween Oreo Brookie Bars

Y’all… I came across this recipe on Instagram and earmarked it because I knew my older daughter would absolutely love to make this recipe with me, as well as absolutely love to eat it!

This recipe is literally brownies, Oreo cookies, and chocolate chip cookies, mixed together into some wonderful chocolate sugar-filled concoction ♥

This is what I had posted on my Instagram stories 🙂

I mean…c’mon, don’t you want to reach through the screen and eat them?

In the interest of full disclosure, I took a shortcut in making them. Because I was short on time, I picked up pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough. Normally, I would make these cookies from scratch as the recipe called for, but again, I was pressed for time.

However you make them, the shortcut way or the original way, you will not be disappointed. We are literally eating these things for breakfast over here 😉
