For a fun twist, try adding whipped cream or drizzling some chocolate sauce on top. These are perfect for parties, picnics, or cozy family nights.
How to Store Slutty Brownies
To keep these brownies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to three months. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply thaw them at room temperature and warm them slightly in the microwave for that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste.
Recipe Tips
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting for clean squares.

FAQs
Can I make these brownies ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the brownie batter and cookie dough in advance. Just store them separately in the fridge for a day or two before baking. This makes it easy to pop them in the oven whenever you’re ready!
Can I freeze the brownies?
Absolutely! Once they’ve cooled, wrap them well in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. They will keep for up to three months. Thaw them in the fridge or at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy.
What’s the best way to reheat brownies?
To reheat, place a brownie on a microwave-safe plate and heat for about 10-15 seconds. This will warm it up nicely without drying it out. Alternatively, you can place them in a 350°F oven for a few minutes.
Can I substitute the brownie mix with homemade brownies?
Yes! If you have a favorite homemade brownie recipe, you can use that instead. Just be sure the consistency works well with the Oreos and cookie dough layers.
