- ¾ cup Flour
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 ½ cups Oreos cut into chunks

Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 180c (350f) and prep a 10 inch cast iron skillet with oil spray.
- In a small mixing bowl, add the butter and the dark chocolate. Melt completely in the microwave or on a ben Marie. Let the chocolate mixture cool completely.
- Add the sugar, salt, and vanilla extract, and sift the cocoa powder. Stir with a whisk until the mixture is combined.
- Add the eggs and mix until combined.
- Chop the dark chocolate into small to medium chunks and break oreo cookies into medium-sized pieces with your hands. Add the chocolate chunks and oreo chunks into the brownie batter and mix until combined.
- Sift the flour into the mixture and lightly fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter. Don’t overmix! You don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour.
- Pour the batter into the prepared 10 inch cast iron skillet with oil spray. Bake in a preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until the tops of the brownies are crinkly.
- Top the brownies with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and serve for yourself or up to 10 people! This is an awesome hot chocolaty dessert to eat right away and enjoy with the people you love.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like eggs and milk. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly. you don’t want to place cold batter into the oven.
Don’t overmix the batter, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have fudgy and moist brownies and not dense and dry brownies.
Mesure you flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with a back of a knife.
Add some of your favorite add-ins! Make this recipe your own and add your favorite muffins add-ins: chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, chopped pecans, chocolate chunks, M&M, caramel sauce, white chocolate, kinder, toffee, and more! Be creative!
Be patient! I know it’s extremely tempting to eat these brownies as they are pulled out of the oven, but let these brownies cool for at least 10 minutes so you won't burn your mouth. These brownies are extra moist, fudgy, and melt in your mouth delicious, so it will be worth it to wait these 10 minutes.
Don’t overbake your brownies! to have super fudgy brownies, we like to underbake the brownies a little bit.
Make sure you line your baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the brownies to stick to the pan.
The best way to serve brownies is with a cold cup of milk. another way we like to serve brownies is with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and chocolate syrup on top. Another way to serve brownies is next to fresh fruit with whipped cream and chocolate syrup.
