Mint Oreo Brownies are stuffed with mint Oreos, spread with mint frosting, and topped with more mint Oreo’s and a fudge drizzle. 

What are your thoughts on special flavors of Oreos? Yay or Nay? I love trying them and there are some I love, hello lemon and cookie butter. And some I never want to taste again, goodbye apple pie and birthday cake. I’ve seen most of these flavors come and go, but mint Oreos must be a perennial favorite because you can always find them in the store. Thankfully, because I like them better than regular Oroes. 

How to make mint Oreo Brownies

My recipe for mint oreo brownies uses a whole large package of mint oreos. Better buy two packages, one package for the oreo sneakers, one to make the brownies with. You wouldn’t want to get around to making them to find out the package had been broken into.

The brownie base is my simple cocoa brownie recipe. I use it in this recipe for mint brownies with chocolate ganache. Then layer half the batter in the pan and press in 24 whole mint oreos. Spread the second half the batter over the top, bake and cool. While it’s cooling whip up some mint buttercream.

Spread the mint buttercream on top, crumble up the remaining oreos in the package and sprinkle on top. Last make a 30 second fudge drizzle in the microwave to add on top for a finishing touch. Cut, serve and enjoy – up to 4 per person 🙂 Check the full recipe out at the bottom of the post.

Ingredients

For the Brownies

• ½ cup butter
• ½ cup oil
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• ¼ teaspoon mint extract
• ⅔ cup cocoa powder
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 package (15.5 ounces) mint oreos, divided

For the Mint Buttercream

• ½ cup butter softened
• 1 and ¾ cups powdered sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
• ¼ to ½ teaspoon mint extract
• a few drops green food coloring

For the Fudge Drizzle

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon corn syrup or honey
• 1/2 cup powder sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream

Instructions

To make the brownies, preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 inch pan. Melt the butter in a large microwave safe bowl. Whisk in the oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla and mint extracts. Beat in the cocoa, flour, salt and baking powder. Spread half the batter into the prepared pan, layer on 24 whole mint oreos and spread the second half of the batter on half. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out with a few crumbs. Let cool completely.

To make the mint buttercream layer, beat the butter in a stand mixer for 1-2 minutes, beat in the powdered sugar. Add enough of the milk or cream to be a spreadable consistency and the mint extract to your tastes. Spread on top of cooled brownies.

Gently crush the remaining oreos in the package and sprinkle on top of the frosted brownies.

to make the fudge drizzle, melt the butter in a medium microwave safe bowl. Stir in the cocoa powder, corn syrup, powdered sugar, and enough milk or heavy cream to make a smooth consistency. Microwave to 20 seconds and stir. Drizzle on top of cooled brownies. I put mine into a ziploc bag and cut the corner off for a more controlled drizzle. Let cool and cut into bars.
