If there’s one dessert I can’t be trusted around it’s brownies. There’s something so addictive about this ooegy gooey chocolately treat especially if chopped up peanut butter oreos are thrown into the batter. But I have a quirky habit when it comes to brownies. Instead of wanting to eat the whole pan, I want to eat all the little crumbs that fall off of the brownies. The small pieces of brownie that are left over when you cut them into pieces. Or the little bit of Peanut Butter Oreos crumbs that are left behind when chopping them up. Then of course who can resist the extra brownie batter just sitting in the bowl, staring at you. It’s one of the many loves of my life. And don’t even get me started on the peanut butter frosting left in the bowl, on the paddle attachment, the spoon and who knows where else.
Sift together 3/4 cup all purpose flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt. Set aside.
In a bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix together 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter (oooh butter!), 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar and 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract. After it’s mixed up, add in 2 large eggs.
Slowly add in the dry ingredients until just combined. Then take a spatula (preferably a colorful one, kidding!) and fold the ingredients together. You have no idea how badly I just want to eat all of that batter right now.
Take 10 Peanut Butter Oreos and chop each Oreo into four pieces. Now it won’t be all perfect. That doesn’t matter.
Throw them into the batter. Eat a Peanut Butter Oreo.
Fold them in!
Spread the batter into a lightly greased 8 by 8 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Cool the brownies completely before frosting. While the brownies are cooling, make the peanut butter frosting. This frosting is so insanely delicious. I could eat it with a giant serving spoon. Sift 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. Set aside.
In a bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix together 4 Tablespoons softened unsalted butter and 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter. (not the natual kind)
Once it’s all mixed up, add in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix mix!
Slowly and I mean slowly add in the powdered sugar.
Then add in 3 Tablespoons of heavy whipping cream. Mix it up until smooth.
Spread the frosting all over the cooled brownies. Crumble some more Peanut Butter Oreos on top of the frosting. Enjoy!

Have you ever had Oreos dipped in peanut butter? They are pretty delicious… I’m betting these brownies take that to a whole new level! These look delicious! I also love the crumbs…. and the edges that have to be cut off to even out the pieces:-)

You’re killing me… I need to stop this diet I’m on so I can try one of these. They include my favorite ingredients: chocolate and peanut butter! Doesn’t matter what it is, I’ll eat it!
I get a sugar rush just by looking at these yummy treats! Good thing there’s peanut butter to provide a bit of savory base.
mmmm…those are the yummiest brownies I’ve seen….I can almost taste them!!
I bet you’ll be first in line if they ever make Nutella Oreos! These look yummy, Lindsey!
I love your copious usage of oreos!
Pure deliciousness!
Looks amazing! I used to pull apart Oreos and put peanut butter in them before they ever came out with the peanut butter Oreos.
This looks so delicious – peanut butter and chocolate is the best together!
Peanut butter on or in anything is a winner in my book We eat a lot of peanut butter in my house, and even Bailey, the Wonder dog, loves PB.. These do look so addicting. I’m bookmarking these,
Oh my word… seriously?!
Sooooo Delicious. Two of my favorite things.
wow…these look DANGEROUS!!
Super amazing! I wish I could crawl through the screen to take one (or 5)
I would pretty much lick the pan clean on this one Lindsey! YUM! ♥- K
I want to make these so bad! But I cannot find the Peanut butter Oreos. May need to improvise O:-)
All I can think to say is “Yes Please!” To both the big brownies and the little bits that fall off.

Fantastic recipe!
Drool! These look so good! I want to go make them right now!
Oh yum!
This combines all my favorite foods into one dessert. DECADENT!
Oh my heavens!! Are you serious…these are sinful! I think my husband would eat the whole pan.
How do you take such crisp pictures from deep within your Kitchenaid bowl? I almost always get a paddle or something in the shot. Sometimes I end up with a shadow.
A lot of practice and light. I can explain better if you email me.
Oh my gosh, these look sooo delicious. I will definitely need to try this recipe very soon. I’ll let you know how it goes!
Gorgeous brownies!! I’m a sucker for anything with Oreos. I’m totally going to have to make these with SunButter. Yum!

Heck yes they are addictive! You just took it to the next level with these little babies too! Those would be absolutely demolished in my house! haha
I simply LOVE oreos and peanut butter! This is genius! Thanks for sharing
Oh wow. These look truly amazing. YUM!
Sounds great, can’t wait to try!
Just wondering how long they’ll keep and whether they should be refridgerated.. I’d love to send some in a care package. Thanks!
Hi Annelise. No they don’t need to be refrigerated. I would put the frosting in a separate container if you ship them. I’ve shipped lots of my desserts before (such as brownies) and I always put my frosting in a separate container. (like a mason jar) I would also wrap each brownie in plastic wrap and then put them in an airtight container. That way they’ll stay fresh when you ship them.
Great suggestion- thanks for your quick response!
I just made these for my husband. They are even better then they look!!
Can you believe I only learned about Peanut Butter Oreo’s a few weeks ago?
This recipe looks so yummy I am actually going to print it.
These look abosolutely fantasticly delicious! I need them now!!!
I am going to make them first thing tomorrow!

Its sooo good!
My favorite midnight snack is oreos dipped in a jar of peanutbutter, glad I’m not the only one
Wow, that looks scrumptious!
Hey! I am wanting to help a friend make these for her boyfriend’s birthday, and I’m trying to gather the ingredients. Does it negatively affect the brownies to use natural peanut butter? That’s the only kind I buy (I seriously have 3 jars of it–crazy, I know), so I wanted to find out why I’d need to use another kind.
