So, so good. You only need 1 piece of it because it's so rich.

Are you serious? This was the easiest thing to make.

I can't imagine the prosecution that the guy who decided to put cookies and chocolate chips together faced in his day.

The entire history of cooking is just people combining different things that taste good together. You're being silly, trying to extrapolate some deep, horrifying cultural implications where there probably aren't any.

As far as the volume comment, I'm pretty sure you have the ability to choose how large of a brownie you eat. It doesn't have the be the volume of a whole chocolate chip cookie plus a whole Oreo plus a whole brownie. It can just be a combination of the three, but still the size of a regular brownie. That's not so hard to imagine is it?

Yeah, I gotta agree with this. Granted, you're right that people eat a lot more sugar these days than they used to, but that's a problem pervasive throughout almost all Americans' diets, not necessarily a consequence of people having grown so decadent that a cookie just isn't good enough anymore. If you offered people who find something like this appetizing any of these three things individually, they'd probably still be very excited at the prospect of eating them. Plus, there are plenty of people who would look at that and just roll their eyes, so it's not as though things this rich and hedonistic are some society-wide epidemic. Americans' diets are totally fucked, but I don't think a niche group of people's enjoyment of weirdly excessive things like this represents some deep failing in our cultural relationship to food. I'd bet that something like this would be popular in ANY time period, and I don't think there are many now or in any time who would have something like this on any kind of regular basis.
 
There's 2 versions of the recipe - the OP one is a "better version" with quality ingredients while the LONDONER version is from packet mix. I've yet to make this but I want to :) moving in a week so maybe for my housewarming. ^_^
 
My dad was just diagnosed with Diabetes. With that said...

I'm going to my parent's house tomorrow and getting my Mom to make me these before I become diabetic!

jajajaja lol

fair enough. the last thing you say here about the volume is pretty relevant, actually. i'd have to taste this thing to know if it served some greater culinary purpose to combine three separate desserts to create a unique and pleasing flavor, but everything being said in the thread is that it's good but completely overwhelming in richness and sweetness. there's a pretty clear distinction between adding a sweet ingredient to a dessert to make it something different--the chocolate chip is, after all, just a chocolate chip. now, imagine instead of a chocolate chip the cookie had a whole slice of chocolate cake teetering on its top.

i'm not some gastronomical gestapo out to take down indulgent food. this snapback reaction to pro-health movements is understandable, even if it is mildly pathetic; hardee's has made total bank on this idea for the past decade with the "monster burgers" and all that.

it all strikes me as cutting off your nose to spite your face to me. sure, the crunchy-granola-salads-can-be-delicious-i-only-eat-foods-that-don't-sneeze crowd can be pretty annoying, but is a combination c.chip cookie/brownie/oreo actually more delicious, or are you just trying to be funny?

just some thoughts. if it's tasty, that's all fine and good, but i think there's clearly a desire to be noticed.
 
Made these tonight and the payoff from how easy they are to make to how delicious they are to eat is ridiculous. However I had one tiny slice, so much sugar...

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that merely eating sugary things doesn't give you diabetes.

There isn't a single thing that causes diabetes, there are multiple factors, but I diet high in sugar and refined carbs [which leads to chronically high levels of insulin] is most definitely a contributing factor. That being said, just because someone eats something like this doesn't mean it's part of their regular diet, or that they drink soda and and eat cookies all day.

I think these brownies are a pretty good quasi-DM2 test.
If you can eat more than one in a sitting you are probably at risk.
I got the jitters eating one, I'm guessing if you are used to sugar/HFCS you can probably eat a few with no effects.

LOL @ insulin shots
 
One of my flatmates made them for my birthday tonight.

Absolutely delicious, but I couldn't eat more than one. Many saved in the fridge!

The oreos had actually melted into the middle. It was glorious.

..future wife must know how to bake, especially when provided with sufficient recipe. lack of baking skills is a hard dealbreaker.
/mental note
 
Recipe is dead simple to make, even my friends that can marginally cook (can follow recipes but lack common sense at times) have been able to make this successfully.

Also, these tend to taste better after a day, when left to sit and cool naturally (as in my photo). The brownie batter sets up to a traditional brownie consistency and the chocolate chip cookie layer is much more solid. That said, I'll see if I can convince my friends to sub oreos with the peanut butter cups instead.

Raw is the best. Fresh out of the oven is way too melty.
 
Made these the other night, super easy and will give you diabetes just looking at them the wrong way. Served with some raspberry ice cream. SO GOOD.

Amazing, but so high in fat and sugar I feel like an absolute fatass after eating two of them. I just feel like shit after.
 
1. Freeze the Reeses cups
2. Bake some brownie mix and take it out to cool
3. While still hot and sticky out the oven, cut a square piece out and in half, one at least %25 bigger than the reeses cup stick the frozen reeses on the bottom half, then set the top back on with the reeses now in the middle
4. It should stick back together with the reeses inside, wait to cool all the way
5. Hope my instructions work, since I just made all this up.
 
Last time I made brownies I use a lot of cinnamon and vanilla, and once done covered them in peanut butter.

So good.

With the Reeses cups frozen solid you might be able to just put them in the middle of the mix before it bakes as you normally would since with them frozen it will take them longer to melt so they might hold their shape better.

There is already too much chocolate. Unless you want Reese pb which is just lo quality pb. Why not use regular pb. Tastes better and is cheaper.
 
I made a batch earlier today. So damn good. I burned them a little bit, but man, it was godly. I love how soft it is in the middle, and bottom of the brownie. It is really easy to do, and should last you awhile. If anyone has more than one piece, they are just asking for trouble.
