Oreo Caramel Brownie Bombs – Here’s what one fan had to say, “A coworker brought these in to the office yesterday. May I just say, they are the most delicious brownies I’ve ever had in my life.

And I’m an almost 50-yr-old passionate foodie with a lifelong chocolate addiction! They’re chewy, crunchy, gooey and soooo very chocolatey. Thank you for sharing this fantastic recipe!!”

Oreo Caramel Brownie Bombs.

Today’s recipe got a lot of attention and was the object of some good-natured fun from members of our Rock Recipes Facebook Page, when I posted a couple of preview photos there yesterday. I asked for folks to suggest a name for this incredibly indulgent recipe.

Some of the suggestions, especially those from friends in private messages were of a nature that…well, let’s just say I wouldn’t want to enter any of them into a search engine!

Oreo Caramel Brownie Bombs ready for the oven, using homemade caramels.

Individually wrapped soft caramels are fine to use in this recipe.

These begin with a bottom layer of soft chocolate chip cookie, which is topped by broken Oreos and gobs of caramel. Then comes a layer of soft chocolatey brownie. It’s no wonder that this one ticks a lot of boxes for dessert and sweet lovers.

A drizzle of chocolate ganache to crown these beautiful squares may be over the top but when you’ve gone this far, why not?
