These are so easy to make, and they're yummy! I made them with holiday M & Ms for Valentine's Day. They were brownie-like and we enjoyed them with ice cream. I used just 1 tsp of vanilla as I felt the extra flavoring was not needed with all of the other ingredients.

One bowl, one pan, endless possibilities with all the different types of Oreos and M&Ms there are now.

They are so simple to make, and EVERYONE loved them. The batter may seem like it is slightly overloaded with the oreo cookies when you are adding them, but trust me, it is just right.
