These are semi-homemade brownies filled with mint Oreo Thins and topped with a rich chocolate ganache. Ganache always sounds hard to make, but I promise it’s EASY! It’s a really nice change-up from the traditional frosting too. Don’t like mint? Just use regular Oreos instead.
Fun Facts!
I used mint Oreo Thins for this, but you can always swap them out for regular or dark Thins or use the regular size Oreos (not thins)
Traditionally, I’ve made these with melted chocolate on top, but for me the fudge/ganache adds an extra creaminess
If you prefer buttercream, just add it after the brownies have cooled
I always use parchment AND spray the pan with baking spray so that it’s easy to pull right out
Baking spray is different than cooking spray because it has flour
You can absolutely sub your favorite gluten free brands
I used dark chocolate chunks for the ganache, but chips are also fine
If you prefer to leave the oreos off of the topping, I’d suggest adding chopped York Patties, Andes mint chips, or chocolate chips
1 box of brownie mix + the ingredients listed on the top
1 pkg mint Oreo thins
1/2 c heavy cream
1/2 c dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Make the brownie mix and spread it into an 8” square pan lined with parchment paper and sprayed with baking spray. Press 16 mint Oreo thins into the batter. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes. Let them cool then top them with ganache.
For the ganache: Heat 1/2 c heavy cream in a bowl for approx 1-1.5 minutes in the microwave. It should be pretty hot. Add 1/2 c dark chocolate chips (or semisweet) into the cream. Let it sit for about 1 min then whisk until smooth. Pour over the brownies then sprinkle more crushed Oreos on top.
Let it set in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Before serving, let them get back to room temp!
