Oreo Stuffed Brownies

by 2 Comments

Oreo Stuffed Brownies are made with a home made brownie recipe that is stuffed with Oreo’s and topped with frosting and sprinkles. 

These brownies are layers of pure bliss. You bite into the frosting, then comes the soft brownie bite and then you hit the crispness of the chocolate cookie and finally the creaminess of the cookie center. I love it when desserts give you layers of different textures.

The brownie mix in Oreo Stuffed Brownies is very thick so it will take a little bit to spread it in the pan and to cover the layer of Oreo’s.  I used a canned frosting that come with the sprinkles but you could easily use the frosting recipe I used in this recipe, Espresso Brownies with White Chocolate Frosting.

This is a great item to make for a bake sale, the chocolate layers and frosting are really appealing and it’s hard to say no to a brownies, especially one with frosting and Oreo’s mixed in.

Cinnamon Fudge Cake

by 15 Comments

Cinnamon Fudge Cake is a decadent, chocolate & cinnamon filled cake that comes alive in your mouth and it makes you want more!

I don’t normally pair chocolate and cinnamon together, but in this case it really works.  You bake this cake on a 9 x 12 baking sheet, so the cake to frosting ratio is perfect. I tend to like more frosting than cake, so this is the perfect cake for me.

When I bake goodies in my kitchen for my blog I tend to take some of the baked goods to work with me to share with my fellow co-workers. I will be honest with you, after my hubby Mr. B and I had a slice, it was evident that this cake would not be shared with my co-workers.

I will tell you that I microwaved my piece of cake for ab out 20 seconds and it helps to soften the frosting, and it is oh so perfect 🙂
