Cookies 'n' Creme Brownies

Source: Our friend Betty C.
(C stands for Crocker. The recipe was on the back of the brownie mix we just happened to find in our cupboard on a lazy Sunday afternoon!)

Ingredients:
1 box Betty Crocker fudge brownie mix
water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on brownie mix box:
1/4 cup water*
2/3 cup vegetable oil*
2 eggs
1 2/3 cup creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs (aka Oreos! -- we used about a row and a half from the package), divided
1/2 container Betty Crocker Rich and Creamy vanilla or chocolate frosting (2/3 cup) (we used the whipped vanilla kind -- again, it's what we had in the pantry)

*we altered these amounts according to the high altitude (3500-6500 feet) directions so we added 1/3 cup water and 1/3 cup oil plus 3 Tablespoons flour.

Directions:
Heat oven to 350F. Make brownies as directed for 13 x 9-inch pan - except stir 1 cup cookie crumbs into batter. (So, stir brownie mix, water, oil, eggs (and flour, if high altitude), and cookie crumbs in medium bowl until well blended. Spread in pan (glass or metal) that has been greased on the bottom. Bake 24-26 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean.) Cool completely. Frost with frosting. Sprinkle with remaining oreo crumbs. Store tightly covered. (That is, if you have any left to store!)

Notes:
I debated about whether I should even post this as a "recipe" since everything pretty much came from a box, a can or a cookie package. But then I knew that there were some chocolate lovers who read this blog and I figured I'd at least share. :) Let me just say that the mutual sweet tooth that Gregg and I both got this afternoon was completely satisfied after delighting ourselves with this treat. Yum.
