Whenever we get invited to someones house for dinner I always feel like I need to bring something that I have never made before. That way others have to try my latest concoction that I have never made, but 90% of the time it turns out to be a complete hit.
These Oreo cheesecake brownies would be the perfect example. I am not a big cheesecake fan, but I do love a good brownie and who doesn’t love Oreos right? I always have my go to blog for food, The Recipe Critic.
She is a friend of mine and tells me all the time to try new things. I had to take her up on it when searching her blog for some tasty treats. Personally I just love to cut a piece of dessert out, take a few bites and be good. But you put these Oreo cheesecake brownies in front of me and you’ll be lucky if you can even get one for yourself.
If you have a family gathering, night with friends or just a Tuesday night watching Jimmy Fallon then these are the perfect treat for you. Try them out tonight and let me know what you think. Enjoy!
