Since the Dad in the house LOVES Oreos, we decided to make him some fabulous Brownie-Covered Oreos for Father's Day. But, you don't have to wait for a special occasion to make these nummy treats - they are actually pretty easy to make. They are a little messy though so I recommend having a kid help with the preparation. (=

I ran across the idea on this site awhile back, but after the first try we decided to do ours a little differently.

What you need: Oreos, a package of your favorite Brownie Mix (and all the ingredients needed to mix it up), Cupcake/Muffin Cup Liners and Pam.

Here are the basic instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line 24 muffin cups with paper or foil liners. (Others have made these without the liners and have just greased the muffin tins well. When we tried this it was very hard to get them out even though we used a lot of Pam - so we recommend the liners! You can even spray a light spritz of Pam in the liners to make them easier to get out.)  
  3. Mix up your Brownie Batter.
  4. Dip an Oreo in your brownie batter, get it completely covered with goo, and drop it in a muffin cup. Repeat until all 24 muffin cups are filled with brownie/Oreo goodness. If you have some brownie batter left over, split it between the muffin cups so they are all contain generally the same amount of batter.
  5. Wipe up all the extra brownie batter that got dribbled on the pan so it doesn't burn and then Bake for about 15 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool. If you want, you can also drizzle some frosting on them - but they really don't need it. (=
  7. Pour a tall glass of milk, grab a Brownie Covered Oreo and ENJOY!
Here are some photos of Riley baking the batch for his dad today.
