Oreo Brownies

{Guest Post} – Oreo Brownies by Deepasri of ‘Hamaree Rasoi’

Continuing our series of ‘Christmas Bakes’ today we have Deepasri (fondly called Deeps by friends) of Hamaree Rasoi. She is sharing a tasteful recipe of ‘Oreo Brownies’, which she made to celebrate her son’s win at school in Hindi competition. Oreo is new found love in my family since lil’M likes these a lot. Oreo Brownies will be a perfect after school treat for hungry sweet little ones and to the ones who love to nibble something sweet at any time of the day or sometimes at night…wink…wink…Thank you Deeps for being part of this ‘Christmas and New Year Bakes‘ event and sharing this wonderful recipe with us all.

It’s that time of the year when there is a cool nip in the air. Going outdoors seem to be more enjoyable and long walks to makes you feel refreshed. Also during the winter season I could innovate with different types of cakes and brownies. The recipe I wish to post today is a form of celebration about my 9 year old son winning 1st prize in his school’s literary competition three years in a row. Since his early years he was fond of chocolate in general and brownies in particular. The addition of Oreo’s makes it more attractive to children. Hope you like the look of it. Try it this Christmas and enjoy compliments being showered at you.
