Birthday Cake Fudgy Brownies

 

Ok, ever since I made the Cookies & Cream Fudgy Brownies – I have been craving more.  I went to the grocery store to get the ingredients to make another batch – and when I got to the cookie aisle, I saw these….

Birthday Cake Oreos!

I had an epiphany… right there in the cookie aisle.  Birthday Cake Fudgy Brownies. Oh. Yeah.

Obviously, I needed another ‘birthday cake’ element to complete these brownies.  In the original recipe, it called for cookies & cream ice cream to be mixed into the brownie batter.  So, I decided to switch that out with birthday cake ice cream.

The combination of all the ingredients made a decadent, fudgy, birthday cake-y (you know you like my made up words), colorful brownie.  Oh. my. gosh.  They are SO good.  Instant addiction.

Pour half of the batter into a 8×8 square baking dish.  (You could also easily double this recipe to make a 9×13 pan)  Layer the birthday cake Oreos on top.

Let cool on a wire rack once cooked for 15 minutes before slicing.  That is, if you can wait that long. 😉
