Rob asked for brownies today, with some crushed oreos on top.  So I made those, cut out a few for him and wantes to make the rest a little fancy, so I topped them with  caramel frosting, melted milk chocolate chips and crushed oreos.

My caramel layer got a little thicker and harder to  than I wanted, because I went to let Gracie in and the cold air hit it and really made it too thick to spread, so I microwaved it for 30 seconds and was able to spread it.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Also preheat your oven to 350 degrees before baking.

• Brownies ingredients
• 1 cup butter
• 1 3/4 cups dark chocolate chips
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed into measuring cup
• 5 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbs special dark cocoa
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• Crushed oreos

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees.   Line a 9×13 pan with tin foil and spray with baking spray.  Set aside.   In a microwave safe bowl, melt butter and dark chocolate chips.   Mix in brown sugar and sugar.  One at a time, beat in eggs, then vanilla.  Do not overnight.  Blend in dry ingredients.  Mix in chips. Evenly spread into pan.  Sprinkle crushed oreos on top.  Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs.  Cool completely.  Using the bottom of a wooden spoon, poke holes, about halfway down, in brownies.
