Mudslide Fudge Brownies are all that you could ask for in a sweet treat. A decadent brownie base swirled with chocolate chips and espresso, then topped with a creamy peanut butter frosting and sprinkled with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies. How much better can it get? Not much! Once you take a bite of these delicious brownies, there is no turning back.

You really have it all: chocolate, coffee, peanut butter and cookies all in one bite. These puppies are so good that my yellow lab, Darbi, agrees as well. She hopped right on up on the counter while we were gone and ate a whole 13×9 pan full of these Mudslide Fudge Brownies and an oatmeal raisin goodie (which is coming soon!) that resulted in her spending a couple days at the vet. She’s on the mend, but she sure did indulge! Note to self: do not leave these on the counter! Whether it’s playful pups, kids, family or friends, these brownies will disappear!

Let’s take a minute to talk about the creamy, dreamy peanut butter frosting you get to frost across the top of these brownies. I could just eat it with a spoon! You’ll want to top everything you can with this frosting. It’s perfect for frosting brownies, cakes, cupcakes or anything else in your life that you need frosting for. You’re welcome.

These Mudslide Fudge Brownies are perfect for any occasion and packed with flavor in every bite. Dig on in!

Instructions

For the brownies:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream, vegetable oil, vanilla and instant espresso powder until smooth. Whisk in the sugar.
2. Add in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt and whisk until there are no lumps and its a smooth batter. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 pan. Bake for 30-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Set aside to cool.

For the frosting:

1. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the cream cheese, butter and peanut butter on medium speed until smooth. Reduce the speed to low and add in one cup of powdered sugar at a time until combined.
2. Evenly spread the frosting over the top of the cooled brownies. Top with the crushed Oreos. Enjoy!
