Why choose when you can have cookies, Oreos, and brownies all in one with these chocolate chip cookie and peanut butter Oreo fudge brownie bars?
Last night I didn’t work out. Figured a break from the sweat sessions was deserved since I rarely miss a day no matter how little sleep I’ve had (which has been very little these days). It’s funny though, how I (try to) eat healthier on the days I work out, but it’s quite the contrary when I don’t. A break from the gym means eating a huge brownie covered in ice cream… right?
But I didn’t just want any fattening ice cream on top, I wanted the absolute king of fatty ice creams – Ben & Jerry’s! Clusterfluff ice cream to be exact (peanut butter ice cream, marshmallow fluff swirls, caramel cashew pieces, and more peanut butter swirled in). I didn’t think that any other ice cream would be good enough to put on top of this salivary-gland-exciting cookie brownie bar (second choice was cookies and cream for obvious reasons).
I added peanut butter Oreos instead of double-stuffed as in the original recipe, which ended up in a massively long name, but it deserves it. I also adjusted the cookie dough recipe to use my favorite chewy chocolate chip cookies instead. It was so gooey and rich, and I got to eat it warm out of the oven so it made the ice cream all melty. I think I gained weight before it even hit my lips. Oh good lord I want more. Please join me in this sugar/fat coma.

Oh my Yumminess!! This looks to die for!
Quite literally ;-)
I was always the opposite – anytime I went to the gym I found a way to justify lots of sweets. I think your brownie would definitely do the trick :) I’ve never had the Clusterfluff ice cream but oh my word does it sound good. Need to find!
I love brownies, oreos, peanut butter… and Ice cream to boot!!! YUMMY!
This has to be the best brownie ever! They combine everything I love. Delicious, Erin!
Haha, I am actually naturally less hungry on days I work out so I don’t even try to eat healthier, I do. On the days I don’t though – all hell breaks loose. This brownie is totally perfect for that kind of day! ;)
Oh my goodness I think I gained weight from reading this post. I’m not sorry. When the day comes that I feel immune to (or at least deserving of) massive amounts of calories, I’m making this.
I am so making this tomorrow.
This is my kind of healthy ;) I totally eat like a fat kid after I work out (probably why the working out isn’t working out for me).
Fat kids unite!
Have I been living under a rock? I didn’t know there was Peanut Butter Oreos!!!
Oh wow, this looks so sinfully delicious! What an amazing recipe, yum! :)
Oh. My.
I’m sorry, I think that I gained an inch on my hips just *looking* at that photo. Does that mean I don’t want to eat that whole thing right now? Heck no.
P.S. My boyfriend and I discovered Clusterfluff ice cream a few weeks ago and we are OBSESSED. It’s seriously the best of the B&J flavors I’ve ever had. Extra points.
OMG I KNOW! That ice cream is heaven. If I hadn’t read the nutritional info I would’ve eaten the entire thing in one sitting. Dividing it between two days is a much better strategy O:-).
Yeah, these look amazing! I think I could finish off a pan pretty darn quick!
I am just in a sugar/fat coma looking at this. I am would love to dive in to this right now! Delicious!
This looks heavenly!! I didn’t work out yesterday either!;) sometimes you just need a day off and this is the perfect way to celebrate a day off!
