These brownies are a creation of my hubby, who discovered “junk bars” at a local cafe. They seemed to be a layer of brownies, topped with magic cookie bars, oreos, marshmallows and then another layer of brownies. So I went to work and tried to make the same thing.

These are very thick. They took 45 to 50 minutes to bake.

A reminder to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Also preheat your oven for 20 minutes before baking so it cycles to the right temp.
