Tips for Cookie and Brownie Mix In a Jar Article Oreo Fudge Bars Well, first of all, I’m having a fantastic time in New York, even if it is our third time here in three years. We were in the city for one night, then Brooklyn for 2 nights, and now we’re visiting some of Kramer’s family in Westchester. I should also mention that Kramer and I got engaged on January 2nd while in Central Park! We won’t be getting married until after I graduate from school (December 2009), but we’re going to enjoy our engagement for now and that’s plenty of excitement for me. Thank you to everyone for all of the well wishes! Anyway, these bars are out of this world. You don’t need much. Crush your Oreos in a food processor (ideally) or by hand with a rolling pin or some other bludgeoning object (what I did). Mix the melted butter in with the crushed cookies, press into your prepared pan, and set aside. Melt together the chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, vanilla, and condensed milk. Pour the mixture over the cookie base and spread until even. Oreo Fudge Bars
