Recipes That Don't Work: "Sloppy" Brownies

Below I have copied and pasted the exact recipe for Slutty Brownies as seen on The Londoner and all over Pinterest. (I think it's safe to say that my Pinterest addiction has and will continue to fuel RTDW posts). She includes a picture tutorial on her blog. My picture is at the end.

1 Box of cookie mix, 

1 Box of brownie mix, 

2 Eggs,

2 Packs of Oreos (double stuffed ones are even better if you can find them)

Some oil 

& your favourite ice-cream (optional)

Preheat your oven to 350°F  or 375, because I was pretty sure she didn't mention a temperature...

Line a baking tray with grease proof paper.

Follow the instructions on the cookie mix box & stir furiously until you have gooey cookie dough, I usually add a little extra water and oil to what they suggest, it just keeps it moist as you'll be baking it for longer than suggested. An extra teaspoon of each is just right. 

Squidge (technical term) the cookie dough into a lined baking tray, until it covers the bottom. 

Cover this layer with your Oreos. Don't use the broken ones, eat them as you go. This recipe is too glorious to use substandard Oreos. I did not find any broken ones and was heartbroken.

Mix up your brownie batter. Just stick to the recipe on the box for this one.

& pour over your Oreos.

Bake for 30mins.

Remove from the oven and leave to cool. 

When its still a little bit warm, use the paper to lift your creation out of the tray and rest it on a chopping board. 

As you do this, notice how the completely raw brownie on top starts to spread like hot lava flow. Panic and try to put it back into the pan, this does not work as any shape or form it may have once had is completely gone. Resolve that it simply must go back into the oven no matter how gooey you think you could handle it. Have a panicked assistant get out a cookie sheet (where it HAD been in an 8" x 8" square pan). Slide it onto the cookie sheet and place it back in the oven at 350 and keep an eye on it.

Use a large, sharp knife to cut it into manageable chunks, sections, slabs... depending on how many calories you think you can handle in one sitting.

Take a picture, then eat, this is still edible and delicious despite our lack of ice cream.
