i don't often post about desserts because, well, i don't often make desserts. but we were invited over to friends' for dinner and i was put in charge of sweets.
our hosts told us they'd be making mexican for dinner and i'll be honest: my first inkling was to make some margarita cupcakes. ESPECIALLY because i had just seen them featured on katie's blog and they looked delicious. the problem as you might expect was the tequila. many recipes have you brush on tequila to the baked cupcakes, leaving all that boozy goodness full-strength. what's more is that the reviews often say that you're left with a lime cupcake when you leave the tequila out. being six months pregnant, i figured i should go with an alternative.
so then i thought, who doesn't love brownies and oreos? and who doesn't love a cheater recipe?!
first up, the ingredients:
1 box packaged brownie mix
all the stuff the brownie mix says you'll need (generally egg, water, oil)
a package of oreos
buttercream frosting (you can make your own, but this is a cheater recipe so i bought mine)
 |
| i went with good ol' betty crocker (she's always been a winner in my book) |
next, mix up all the brownie ingredients.
put about half the package of oreos into a ziplock back and crush 'em up. then, add them to your brownie mix.
spread into a non-stick pan (i used 9x9) and bake according to the directions on the box.
once the brownies have cooled, you can do lots of things with them. i used a cup to cut circular brownies and topped them with icing, some oreo crumbs and a full oreo, but you can really do whatever you'd like. i think the finished product is cute, but the best part is that it's TASTY!
ENJOY!
