Not too long ago as I lolled around on Pinterest, cuz you know, I’ve got nothing better to do, I came upon a brownie recipe like none I’d ever seen before. They had the perfect food porn name: Slutty Brownies. What, I wondered, would make a brownie slutty?
Easy?
Delicious?
Decadent?
The actual recipe involves cookie mix, brownie mix and oreos. Yes all of those in one not-so-innocent brownie.
Like the Lululemon capris I admired at the race last weekend, the ones with the oh-so-tiny, flirty ruffle in the seam near the calf, these slutty brownies became my obsession. Who would make these and why? Are they that spectacularly delicious? What kind of blood sugar spike could I expect?
Curiosity got the better of me and before I knew it, a cartload of slutty ingredients was gliding along the checkout belt at Super Tarjay. There may have been a disguise involved.
I couldn’t do cookie mix and brownie mix though. I’m way too much of a snob. Plus why stop at third base? I was going all the way with the classic tollhouse cookie dough and my favorite brownie recipe. Maybe this version should be called High-Class Hooker Brownies.
1. Make Tollhouse Cookie dough just as you would for cookies, but press it into a 13×9″ pan.
2. On top of the dough, layer Double Stuff Oreos. Personally I couldn’t resist being a little nutty in addition to slutty and did part of the pan in Nutter Butters. Oy.
3. Brownie batter goes on top of the cookie layer and the whole thing bakes for 55 minutes.
You end up with a full-figured concoction that is far over the top. Looks delicious no?
And they are delicious, in a gorge-til-you-burst kind of way. Each of the components is divine unto itself. But when melded together, in my opinion, there’s simply too much going on. Maybe it’s just me, but something about the brownie and Oreo brought out an odd banana-esque flavor in the cookie part.
The Caveman shunned them completely.
Thing 1 had one and dissed them.
Thing 2 picked out the Oreo and left the rest.
Me? I can handle about a 1″ cube with some strong black coffee to counter the sweetness before slipping into a sugar coma. Even my Olympic-caliber sweet tooth finds these to be too much.
Morsel, I mean moral, of the story: Simple things are enough. There is a point on the happiness spectrum where more is not better. Sometimes more is less and less is more. Now I’m off to ponder whether simple capris without that irresistible ruffle are enough as well.
Have you made slutty brownies? Do you own Lulu capris?
This makes me so sad. I still kind of want to try them, but then, I trust your judgement and don’t want to waste all that deliciousness. Maybe I’ll just make cookies and brownies separately and eat oreos while they’re baking.
I’ve seen that recipe floating around and been tempted… but I don’t ever even buy a box of Oreos (or Joe O’s, or anything similar), let alone have enough people to feed a whole pan full of the cookie/brownie hybrid to!
I DID make “snickers” for myself for my birthday and had chocolate, nougat, and caramel coming out my ears for weeks.
Oy and Uff Dah all wrapped up in one. Don’t think I could handle slutty brownies – well maybe just the TollHouse with brownie topping, I might be able to do that. With hit fudge, carmel sauce, whipped cream …
Got a Lulu skirt – my ruffles are on the undershirt – not for public viewing but I know they’re there 😉
haha! unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?) i feel like my sugar tooth has no limit and i can dig right into sugar. those look incredible:)
I bet if you deep-fried them thsy’d be better.
ugh. too much, even for me. I think they could be good without the extra cookies though. Maybe just the cookie dough, brownie batter and some extra chocolate chips for good measure? hmmmm. now I’m hungry…
Hmm, you’re still talking about those capris. I think that means you should get some (that’s my rule anyway…I try not to impulse buy clothing, but if I’m still thinking about it days later….). I was outside Lululemon on Monday (my comp day also involved some window shopping) and I just couldn’t go in. I felt like I used to feel walking by the popular girls’ table in jr. high. Someday I’ll gin up the courage and go check out their sale rack….
ANYWAY….slutty brownies….I think those would be too much even for me. I do like the idea of cookie dough and brownie batter together, though. I might attempt that part….
You MUST go to Lulu and get those capris, stat!!!!!
I’m sure I wouldn’t have a problem inhaling the pan of those things, even if I’d die from a sugar explosion. I am way too dangerous around sugar to even attempt something like that. Haha.
Oh my…I do love the name! what a shame that they were too “much” of a dessert…Perhaps maybe mint oreo cookies instead? I, like you would drop dead after just a smell of one of those…especially in the middle of the day…but they do look enticing 😉
No lulumon capris for me…but I take it I should try them?
I almost slipped into a sugar coma reading about those brownies. And we all know that I have a fairly high tolerance for sweet things.
They definitely look delicious! I can’t believe your family dismissed them… they must be over the top if your kids are turning them down! That, or you’ve trained them really well to prefer healthy food. I’m impressed!
I made something very similar to these a few months ago that knocked my hubbys socks off. The bottom was brownies and the top was a no-bake cookie dough that was scrumptious! Great, now I want cookies…
They look almost too good. If you put a half gallon of ice cold milk next to it, both would be gone in seconds, not minutes.
So tempting… but I just cannot bring myself to do it, yet!
Oh no those brownies didn’t! Yum. I need that.
Thanks for posting your ultimate finding. I was going to give the recipe to my sugar craving wife until you said it was too much sugar. Thanks again!
I am pretty sure I couldn’t handle these! They look yummy but I might go into sugar shock. My kids would pull the Oreo out and leave the rest also.
OMG! Those look amazing! I would have been happy to finish those off for you!
What Peter doesn’t know is that for our anniversary yesterday he bought me purple Lululemon capris 🙂
Brownies – dirty talk to me. But not the slutty kind 😉
those brownies would make me so sick so no chance of me making them!!!
I have never bought anything from lululemon
in my former life, i could have eaten a whole tray of these.
now that i’ve been sugarless – i don’t think i’d be able to handle one bite! (but they look delicious to me)
The brownies are not usual in Italy but I know where I can find them. I love this cake.
I don’t know if I could handle those! I’ve seen them around Pinterest too and I haven’t pinned them for that reason.
Get the Lulu capris!
I think I gained weight just reading about these brownies! 😀
I appreciate the advice that they are too sweet, otherwise I would have been sorely tempted!
I don’t have any LuLu either.
hmm.. I have always wanted to try these, but it may be too sugary as was said above. I wonder whether an oatmeal cookie dough would work at the bottom, it would be less sweet, right? Of course, I don’t think an Oreo would work with that.
That could be good…oatmeal cookie brownie.
Yes, I realize this comment is delayed, but I have only recently stumbled upon the “slutty brownie”. (and I stumbled upon it without the help of stumbleupon).
Hi! I’m a teenager, and my friends and I make these ALL the time. I’d like to recommend about 30 minutes in the oven instead, and there should still be a bit of brownie batter goo on the toothpick when you check. Results in GOOEY slutty brownies, and we all love them!!!
wicked webpage, this really is going on my twitter.
