Buttermilk Brownies with Orero

Buttermilk Brownies with Oreos

My son was looking on the internet and saw someone had made brownies with Oreos. On Facebook yesterday this recipe for Buttermilk Brownies came up.  Having buttermilk I needed to use, decided to try it with Oreos.  Well it is pretty amazing I have to say.  Rich, sweet just what you need when you have been stuck inside for week, due to the Covid-19 virus.

This is the brownie before the icing was put on.
