Black and White “Brookies”

Behold! The infamous (or maybe not so infamous) Triple Double Oreo. Its three cookies, one vanilla filling and one chocolate filling. I have been on the hunt for these babies since I read about them on the internet in june. FINALLY my brother found them at Wegmans and picked me up a pack (BECAUSE HE ROCKS). 

I wanted to bake up a treat for my good friend at work so I decided I wanted to use these bad boys. 

Thus the Brookie.  That is Brownie batter with cookie dough batter baked on top. Two classics fused together. So i started with a dark brownie batter stirred in some dark chocolate chips as well as white chocolate chips. Then topped it with chocolate chip cookie batter full of dark and white chocolate chips. And for an extra special twist i threw in a bunch of the triple double oreos. And just for looks (and the shear fact that there were only two cookies left in the pack) I chopped the last ones up largely and sprinkled them on top. Baked in a 350 F oven for 20-25 minutes.

After Baking (dark shot, too excited to take my time)

Smores Bars
Line pan with graham crackers, top with chocolate chip cookie dough with mini marshmallows folded in, underbake and at last 5 minutes, top with more marshmallows and hershey bars. DELICIOUS.

Peppermint Bark
INGREDIENTS:
1 bag of chocolate chips (any kind you like)
1 bag of white chocolate chips
24 mini candy canes, crushed *do not crush using a food processor –  place candy canes in a zip lock bag and use a hammer to crush into small  pieces
DIRECTIONS:
Line the bottom of a 9×13 pan with parchment paper.  Pour (brown)  chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl.  Microwave chocolate chips in  increments of 30 seconds stirring the chips each time until chocolate  chips have completed melted and mixture is smooth.  Spread melted  chocolate  as evenly as possibly into lined pan.  Place pan into freezer  for 20 minutes.  Repeat the same melting process with the white  chips.   While chocolate is still smooth, stir in half of the crushed  candy cane mixture.  Allow the white chocolate to slightly cool for a  minute.  Remove pan from freezer and spread white chocolate/crushed  candy canes mixture on top of the chocolate layer.  Spread white  chocolate as quickly as possible.  Top off with remaining crushed candy  cane and gently pat down with the back of a spatula.  Return pan to  freezer for 20 minutes.  Remove from freezer and gently lift the whole  mixture from the pan with a butter knife.  You should now have a solid  sheet of peppermint bark.  Remove parchment paper and break into pieces.  Store any left over bark in a ziplock bag and place in the freezer.  Enjoy!
*if white chocolate chips do not melt smooth, stir in 2 tablespoons of shortening.
