A while back there was a recipe going around for Slutty Brownies and I loved. I wanted something that was a little bit more sinful and I wanted to add a couple more layers – chocolate ganache frosting, caramel sauce, and golden Oreos.
I think added the additional layers definitely took them out of the Slutty Brownie category, so I came up with I Just Got Dumped Brownie Bars.
Just Got Dumped Brownie Bars
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Layer
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup white granulated sugar
- 1 large egg

- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Oreo Layer
- 15 Golden Oreos
Brownie Layer

- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup cocoa powder (, unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Chocolate Ganache
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon shortening
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- caramel sauce (, garnish on top)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line an 8×8 baking dish with aluminum foil. Lightly grease with shortening. Set aside
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Layer – In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, light brown sugar, and white granulated sugar.

- Spread the cookie dough layer on the baking dish and spread all over. Make sure the layer is even.

- Add in the vanilla extract, flour, and salt.
- Spread the brownie layer on top of the Oreo layer and make sure it is even.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the middle and if it comes out clean it is done.
- Allow the brownies to completely cool.
- Prepare the chocolate ganache layer by melted the chocolate chips and shortening in the microwave for 15 seconds at a time until the chocolate chips are melted. Stir in the heavy cream. Spread on top of the cooled brownie bars. Drizzle caramel sauce on top.
