FAQs

How do I keep the brownie cups from sticking to the pan?

Use non-stick spray or line the muffin tin with paper liners to make removal easier.

Can I use boxed brownie mix instead of homemade batter?

Yes, a boxed mix can be used for convenience. Just prepare it according to the package directions and follow the same steps for assembling.

Are these best served warm or cold?

They are delicious both ways, but slightly warm enhances the gooey texture and makes the Oreo center softer.

Can I add frosting on top?

Yes, a swirl of chocolate or cream cheese frosting adds an extra indulgent layer.

Do I need to use regular Oreos?

You can use any variety of Oreo cookies depending on your flavor preference.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, these can be baked a day in advance and stored in an airtight container.

How can I make them more festive?

Decorate the tops with colored sprinkles or themed candy pieces for holidays or special events.

Can I double the recipe?

Absolutely. Just make sure to bake in batches if your muffin tin only holds 12.

What kind of chocolate chips work best?

Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips complement the sweetness of the Oreo and brownie base.

How do I know when they are done baking?

Check if the tops are set and a toothpick inserted at the edge (not through the Oreo) comes out clean.
