Slutty Brownies Ingredients
The magic of these Slutty Brownies truly lies in their harmonious blend of flavors and textures, all held together with some classic ingredients. Don’t worry about exact measurements just yet; those are all in the recipe card for you!
Essential Components
- BOX BROWNIE MIX: The base of our brownies, providing that rich chocolate flavor and fudgy texture—these are indeed the stars!
- PACKAGE OF COOKIE DOUGH: An irresistible chewy layer that adds a delightful contrast to the brownies.
- PACKAGE OF OREO COOKIES: These little gems pack a mighty punch, bringing crunch and a deep chocolate flavor.
- EGGS (2): Essential for binding the mixture and adding moisture to our gooey brownies.
- VEGETABLE OIL (1/3 cup): Contributes to a moist and decadent brownie texture.
- WATER (1/4 cup): Helps to adjust the consistency of our brownie batter for perfect baking.
- CHOCOLATE CHIPS (1/2 cup, optional): Because, let’s face it, you can never have too much chocolate!
Substitutions and Tips
Need a swap? If you’re out of cookie dough, you can easily replace it with homemade chocolate chip cookie dough! Want to switch things up? Consider using gluten-free brownie mix for a gluten-free treat, or switch the Oreos for your favorite sandwich cookie variation for a fun twist.
Pro tip: If you’re looking for a slightly healthier version (though not quite as rich), you could use applesauce instead of oil. Just make sure to adjust your baking time a touch—these brownies will still be incredibly satisfying!

How to Make Slutty Brownies
Let’s dive into creating this wonderfully decadent Slutty Brownies. I’ve broken down the process into simple steps, and I promise you’ll have a delicious treat in no time. We’re aiming for that perfect layer of fudge with a gooey cookie center and a crunchy top!
Preheat and Prepare
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9×13 inch baking dish. This is key; we want our brownies to glide out easily after baking.
Mix the Brownie Batter
Next, prepare the box brownie mix according to the package instructions. Combine the mix with the eggs, vegetable oil, and water until it’s smooth and well-blended. This creates a luscious base that will hold everything together.
Spread the Brownie Base
Now, spread half of the brownie batter evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. This is your foundation and should be nice and thick!
Layer with Oreos
Once the base is down, layer the Oreo cookies over the brownie layer, placing them side by side. Feel free to break some in half if they don’t fit perfectly—each bite should have a little bit of everything!
Spoon in the Cookie Dough
Next, take spoonfuls of the cookie dough and place it over the Oreos. Gently spread it out as evenly as you can—don’t worry if it’s not perfect; the imperfect bits become a delightful surprise in every bite!
Cover with Remaining Brownie Batter
Pour the remaining brownie batter over the cookie dough layer, making sure to cover it completely. This luscious layer really ties everything together.
Sprinkle with Chocolate Chips
Optionally, sprinkle some chocolate chips on top for an extra chocolatey finish. Trust me, this is worth it!
Bake to Perfection
Finally, bake the whole dish in your preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. Keep an eye on them—this is where you’ll want that perfect blend of chewy and gooey!
Cool and Cut
Once baked, allow them to cool before cutting into squares. Enjoy your decadent Slutty Brownies! Seriously, the aroma wafting through your kitchen at this point is pure bliss.
How to Store Slutty Brownies
If by some miracle you have leftovers, they can stay at room temperature for a day or two, just covered to keep them fresh. For longer storage, move them to an airtight container in the refrigerator where they will last about 3-4 days. If you want to keep them even longer, you can freeze them for up to 2-3 months—just let them thaw in the fridge before enjoying.
Tips for Success
- Use high-quality chocolate for the brownie mix for the best flavor.
- Don’t overmix the brownie batter; mix just until combined for a fudgier texture!
- Feel free to add nuts or caramel bits for an extra surprise inside.
- Make sure to let them cool completely before cutting to avoid messy squares (though messy can be good too!).
- Serve warm! A scoop of vanilla ice cream on top takes these to the next level.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic dessert experience.
- Drizzle warm chocolate or caramel sauce on top for added sweetness.
- Enjoy with a tall glass of cold milk for that nostalgic treat vibe.
- Serve alongside fresh strawberries or raspberries for a fruity flavor contrast.
- Present them on a beautiful platter, dusted with powdered sugar for a lovely touch.
These Slutty Brownies are not just a recipe; they’re an experience, a joyous journey into the world of dessert that you won’t want to skip. Enjoy every chocolatey, gooey moment!
