Pancreas Sucker Punch Brownies

There are many variations of this recipe online. We here at Fatassery R' Us have decided to go with the classic version. However, do not let that deter you from your inner fatass.

Pancreas Sucker Punch Brownies


 You will need:
  1. One bag of Oreo cookies (or whatever cookie you'd like really)
  2. Your favorite sort of chocolate (for melting)
  3. Cookie Dough (any flavor you'd like)
  4. Brownie Mix
 
Step One: Melt the Chocolate. This isn't terribly complicated. Use a double boiler. If you haven't heard of or own a double boiler, Fill one pot up with water and stick a smaller pot inside of it.Or, even easier, put a heat safe bowl on top of a simmering pot.Stick it on the stove at whatever heat you feel comfortable dealing with.  Put the chocolate in the smaller pot/bowl/whatever and voila-You have melting chocolate without worry of scorching. If that's too many steps for you, try carefully melting in the microwave or leaving a bag of chocolate in the window of your car. For those of you who prefer a smoother chocolate, mix with a little heavy whipping cream. We really don't measure things around here but for this particular batch, we used half of a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Step two: Coat your Oreos in Chocolate.

Prepare for your oreos to suffer heavy casualties due to snacking. Save at least 12 for the recipe. I personally only coat the top half of the cookie and leave the bottom clear of chocolate because I don't feel like prying it from the wax paper/plate/whatever. Stick cookies in the freezer while you prepare the cookie dough. I have no idea if the freezer step can be skipped or not. I do it because I do not want to encourage the cookie dough to spread once it goes around the oreo.

Step Three: Cookie Dough
This one is pretty easy. Either make your own or buy some cookie dough. Try to keep it as cold as possible. This will prevent the dough from spreading wildly during baking.

Step 4: Wrap Oreos in Cookie Dough

Cover the whole chocolate covered oreo in the cookie dough, even the bottom. It should look like a giant ball of delicious, delicious, and extra delicious cookie dough when finished.


Stick all 12 of your oreo cookie balls in the freezer. Pre-heat oven to 350
.

Step Five: Bake the Cookie Balls
This should take roughly 14-16 minutes. Undercooked makes the cookies too hard to handle and overcooked is just a crime against humanity.


Step Six: Chase the kitchen help around because they have made off with three of your cookies. Stick the remaining cookies back in the freezer for a bit.

Step Seven: Force the kitchen help to make brownie batter to atone for their sins. This can be any batter you'd like. Box, Home-made, "Special" Brownie, Whatever.

Step Eight: Brownie Batter Time
Grease/Spray with Pam/Lubricant of your choice (We don't judge in our kitchen) a 9 by 13 pan. Pour enough brownie batter to cover the bottom of the pan. Arrange whatever is left of your cookies in the pan.

If you want to trim away the excess cookie and just put the covered oreo part in, that's fine but it only works if you have enough cookies to do the whole pan with. We seem to have a problem with that in our kitchen so we leave the cookies untrimmed.
Use the remaining brownie batter to cover the rest of the cookies.

Step Nine: If you were smart, you realized you would need the oven again and left it on. Bake for roughly 35 minutes OR until an inserted knife comes out clean. Every oven is different so times may vary. It should look like this when done:


Step 10: Coat in more chocolate if desired. Cool and Serve.

Step 11: Save some to be turned into Pancreas Punch Trifle which will be featured next week.

If you folks will excuse me, It's time for me to do anything other than eat these (as the sugar content is likely to be 90 times my daily limit).
