Cut the brownies into squares and top them with some buttercream frosting, maybe some whip cream and crumble the Oreo over top.

Gooey chocolate chips on the inside with a crisp top makes this the perfect brownie that's rich in chocolate flavour and the perfect vessel for buttercream icing and crumbled Oreo topping. You'll want to enjoy this on a plate with a fork and a tall glass of milk.
