Ultimate Cookie Brownie Oreo Bar

Mom, Sara, and I made this dessert inspired by a pin that led t0 this website. It's a dessert with Toll House chocolate chip cookies at the bottom, double stuffed Oreos above that, and brownie on top. Of course you can pair it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream as a finishing touch.

First we made Toll House cookies from the directions on the chocolate chip package.


We spread the cookie dough on a 9 x 13 pan coated with parchment paper.


Then we put a layer of double stuffed Oreos.


We made a box of brownie mix and poured it on top.

The brownie mix couldn't cover the whole thing, so I just centered it.


Follow the website from above. It takes a long time to cook but here's what you get.


My favorite part was the warm Oreos. The cookie at the bottom came out a little too thick, heavy, and dry. The whole thing was a little dense. Honestly it would have been inedible without the ice cream to lighten it up.

Couscous with Vegetables and Chicken

1/4 cup of couscous
1/2 cup of water
tablespoon of olive oil
spinach, carrots, broccoli, and red pepper (left over from a salad)
diced chicken breast
Italian spice mix



Chop the vegetables.


Bring the water and olive oil to a boil. Add the couscous and let it steep on low heat for about 5 minutes. Add the vegetables and continue to steep.


I microwaved the chicken and put it on top. There is also a layer of tomato sauce in there, but it wasn't necessary and I wouldn't use that again.

Cake Balls!

This was our first time making cake balls, but the recipe is very straightforward.

First we baked a white cake (we used only egg whites to make the batter whiter). When the cake cooled, we pulverized it. Once it was just powder, we added about 3/4th a can of vanilla frosting and hand-mixed it. Then we formed the mix into balls, placed them in waxed paper on a cookie sheet, and placed the sheet into the freezer.


We bought some candy disks from A.C. Moore - white and red. We heated the candy in a bowl in the microwave. I would have used a double boiler if we had one. We dunked the chilled balls into the candy coating and set them on another tray. We put sprinkles and sugar on most of the balls.



And here's the finished result. They look a little weird, but they tasted great. The balls probably would have been rounder if we had put them on sticks like lollipops, but they are easier to deal with stickless.

Next time, Sara wants to use a peanut butter coating. I'd like to add some cinnamon to the cake mix with a vanilla candy coating.
