Chocolate Chip Samoa Layered Brownie Bars

If you've stumbled across "Slutty Brownies" on Pinterest (one finds the most interesting titles on Pinterest...) or read my recipe for Chocolate Chip Oreo-O-M-G-Brownies with a much more G-rated name, then you'll know where the inspiration for this next concoction came from.  I love Samoas Girl Scout Cookies.  Caramel, coconut, and chocolate make up this magical ring of cookie.  Keebler makes a version year round as Coconut Dreams (check your cookie aisle - - - you'll thank/hate me later).   I took all the shortcuts on this layered bar so it's very easy to make.  The only hard part is not eating the cookie dough or cookies during prep.  

Gather the goods:
  • Refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough (2-16oz tubes of dough or 1 tub of dough)
  • 1 package Keebler Coconut Dreams or Samoas, roughly chopped
  • 1 Pillsbury Dark Chocolate Brownie mix (family sized) + ingredients on box

 Heat oven to 350°.  Prepare the bottom of a 13x9 pan with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper/foil for easy removal.  Press refrigerated cookie dough into bottom of pan.  (I used 3/4 of the 36oz tub of dough). 

Roughly chop Keebler Coconut Dreams.  (You could also just line the cookies as is but I prefer to roughly chop them for the layer).  Press down a little to help the Coconut Dreams settle into the cookie dough.  Prepare brownie batter as directed on the box.  Pour the batter on top of the Coconut Dreams layer.  Spread evenly.  Bake for 30-35 minutes.  Brownies are done when a knife inserted into the brownie comes out clean.  Allow brownies to cool completely.  Enjoy! 






Why I Love It: This can barely even be considered a recipe because it is so easy to bake, plus it incorporates my favorite cookie.
