• Add sprinkles if you'd like to jazz them up more!
• Bake for 45-50 minutes until top is solid.
• Let sit for at least 20-30 minutes to let the inside brownie batter harden.

I got the idea for this recipe from Instagram. I love a good chocolatey themed treat!

I enlisted my husband to help make the brownies. Sometimes he let’s me lick the spoon!

Press cookie dough into a greased pan, spreading to cover the bottom.

Now add rows of Halloween Oreo cookies. I did 4 across and 4 down. 

Mix up brownie batter according to the package then pour on top of the Oreos. 

Add sprinkles on top if you’d like. 

Bake for 45-50 minutes at 350 degrees until top is solid.

Let sit for at least 20-30 minutes to let the inside brownie batter harden. 

Slice into squares and serve.

• 1 1/2 cups mint chocolate Oreos about 1 sleeve

Instructions

• Line a small sheet pan or 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Spray lightly with cooking spray.
• Add Oreos to a large ziptop bag and crush into small pieces with a rolling pin. You can also use a food processor.
• Add chocolate chips to a mixing bowl and melt in the microwave for 45 seconds. Stir then heat for an additional 15 seconds if needed until smooth. Set aside.

• Stir the whole can of frosting into the melted chocolate chips.

All you need are three ingredients for this fool proof fudge. 

For this St Patrick’s themed fudge I used festive mint chocolate Oreos. 

Add Oreos to a large ziptop bag and crush into small pieces with a rolling pin. You can also use a food processor. 

Crush into small bite size pieces but not any smaller.

You want to still have texture and filling for topping the fudge.

Add chocolate chips to a mixing bowl and melt in the microwave for 45 seconds.

Stir then heat for an additional 15 seconds if needed until smooth. Set aside. 

Remove lid and seal from the frosting and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Stir the whole can of frosting into the melted chocolate chips.

Spread mixture into the pan.

Sprinkle crushed Oreos all over the top, pressing lightly into the fudge. 

Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up and set. 

Cut into squares and serve.

August 10 is National S’mores Day and y’all know I am obsessed with love anything and everything S’mores! So I decided to create a homemade S’mores Ice Cream and to make it extra special I added chopped S’mores Oreo cookies instead of traditional graham crackers to my ice cream mix. The result was a smooth vanilla base with rich chocolate pieces, ooey-gooey marshmallows, and crunchy chunks of S’mores Oreos. My kids love to eat this summertime treat and it tastes just like a S’mores minus the mess and hassle of melting over the fire!

S'mores Oreo Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 7 oz jar marshmallow cream {approx. 1/2 cup}
• 1 cup S'mores Oreo cookies {about 10 cookies} roughly chopped
• 2 Hershey chocolate bars roughly chopped

Instructions

• In a large bowl, mix together milk, cream, and sugar for one minute until combined.
• Add vanilla then spoon marshmallow cream into the bowl and mix until combined.
• Turn the ice cream maker machine on and pour the mixture into the freezer bowl.
• Mix until thickened, about 20 minutes.
• In the last few minutes, mix in the chopped Hershey bars and S'mores Oreos.
• Then pour soft ice cream into a loaf pan and freeze until hardened {about 3 hours up to overnight}.
• Scoop into bowls or cones and serve.

 

 To make this S’mores Ice Cream extra special I add marshmallow cream, chopped Hershey’s chocolate bars, and S’mores Oreo cookies. These treats on their own are the bomb- just imagine them together with a creamy vanilla ice cream!

I like to use a mixture of cream and milk for my ice cream base.

 

In a large bowl, mix together milk, cream, and sugar.

 

Blend together for one minute until combined.

Add vanilla and spoon marshmallow cream into the bowl
and mix until combined.         .

Pour the mixture into your running frozen ice cream maker bowl.

Run according to ice cream maker instructions.
Mine runs for 20 minutes.
It will be a soft ice cream.

Roughly chop up two Hershey’s chocolate bars {or one large King size}.

Roughly chop up about 10 S’mores Oreo cookies.
 I added to a plastic baggies and crushed with my hands.

You don’t want to crush them too fine.

I like having the chunks in there.

Now sprinkle in the chocolate and Oreos and mix.

I like to freeze my ice cream for a few hours longer so it is harder and more solid.

I pour my soft ice cream into a loaf pan and smooth down.

Place in the freezer until hardened.

I freeze for at least 3 hours or up to overnight.

 Scoop into cups or cones and serve.

Both my little foodies loved the ice cream. No surprise there!

A cold scoop of ice cream is a great way to beat the heat!

Matching ice cream pants for the win!

This homemade ice cream is perfect for a summertime treat.

 Oreo Candy Corn Bark is a fall favorite and an easy to make treat!
I like to make as a simple sweet gift for friends.

Last month I was going stir crazy waiting on Baby Ava to arrive. I cleaned, organized, crafted, made freezer meals….and still no baby and nothing to do! So I decided to make a Thank You gift basket for the Labor and Delivery nurses at the hospital.
I chose to make 2 “no bake” items: Candy Corn Bark and Peanut Butter Lover Bars. 

Scroll down for the Candy Corn Bark recipe and the Thank You basket instructions.
