I’d drizzle it on top at serving! Hope you love these bars 🙂

This looks amazing! Wish I had found this in the summer. But still want to make now!!! Question - do you think if I added a layer of caramel instead of (or in addition to ) the fudge layer that it would set okay? Or better to just drizzle on the top at serving? Thanks!!!

Chocolate syrup won’t work; this is what you need! It’s usually near ice cream toppings and ice cream cones in the grocery store

I haven’t made this yet, but I want to. I just don’t know what and where I buy hot fudge sauce? Can I possibly use chocolate syrup instead?

I’m so happy your husband enjoyed them! It seems like maybe the brownies were a little over-baked; if you make these again pull them out 2-4 minutes earlier and they should be great!

Hey Again!

So, these were absolutely amazing but I have one more question. I had a little trouble getting the brownie to come up from the pan when I cut them. Do you think it ended up too thin? or froze too long? Just curious.

Either way they were great!!

I made them for my husband’s birthday! and he loved them.

In reply to Amber.

Yes, after making these so many times, I’ve found it’s best (cuts easier and more cookie per bite) with the cookies chopped! Thanks for the question!

By: Amber

Amber — Thu, 05 Jan 2017 22:06:46 +0000

You say in the recipe to chop the cookies but in the picture you just lay them whole! Is one or the other better?

In reply to Remi.

I’m so sorry to hear that Remi! It sounds like the ice cream might have gotten too melty or didn’t refreeze for long enough. Did you use a lower calorie or fat free ice cream?

By: Remi

Remi — Wed, 23 Nov 2016 16:05:59 +0000

This didn’t work out so well for me. The brownies and oreo cookies were hard has rocks once frozen and the ice-cream never refroze enough to cut properly–so it was an oozing mess. Tasty, but messy. Once the brownies and cookies thawed, it was a good base to add more ice cream…I just wished I had made brownie cookie sundaes instead!

In reply to Laurie.

I think the mini oreos are a great idea! Or even chopping up regular sized ones could help and make it easier to cut 🙂 So happy you enjoyed it and are making it again for your grandson! Happy birthday to him!

By: Laurie

Laurie — Fri, 07 Oct 2016 03:00:12 +0000

I agree with Kergie. It was very difficult to cut, but we loved it anyway. I am making this for my grandson’s birthday (he requested it – he’s going to be 7!) but this time I am going to use mini oreos so it will be easier to cut. I will let you know how that goes!

In reply to Briana.

As long as the mix is around 18.4 ounces it will be great in a 9 x 13 🙂 And yes, you’re correct, its supposed to be thinner for all the other layers 🙂

By: Briana

Briana — Sun, 10 Jul 2016 17:20:07 +0000

So excited to make this! My brownie box says to use two boxes of brownie mix for a 9x 13 pan. Did you use one so its makes for a thinner layer?

In reply to Kergie.

Thanks so much for the comment Kergie! 🙂 I’m so thrilled it got rave reviews!! And that is a great idea to cut up the oreos! 🙂

By: Kergie

Kergie — Wed, 06 Jul 2016 01:21:39 +0000

Made this for the 4th of July and it got rave reviews! Only change I would make the next time is to cut up the Oreos before layering them on top of the brownie, because after frozen, they were difficult to cut through. Didn’t stop us from devouring the whole pan but would certainly allow us to shovel it in our mouths more quickly next time! 😉

In reply to Jess.

I’d say at least 6-8 hours, it really depends on how melty the ice cream gets and how cold your freezer is 🙂 I hope that helps!

By: Jess

Jess — Fri, 17 Jun 2016 14:11:43 +0000

Hi Chelsea! How long did you have to leave this in the freezer for? I am thinking about making it for father’s day but have limited time so wanted to check. Thanks!

In reply to Cassie.

Hey Cassie! I actually did it the first way — brownie bottom, oreo, fudge, ice cream, and whipped topping. Hope that helps!

Cassie — Thu, 31 Mar 2016 18:52:41 +0000

My daughter wants this “cake” for her birthday, and pinned it to her birthday board on Pinterest. Before reading your post, I thought I might layer this in a spring form pan and then coat in whipped cream and sprinkles to give it a more festive look. When you made it this way, did you have a brownie bottom, oreo, fudge, ice-cream middle and then another brownie on top, or did you layer it a different way?

In reply to sara.

I don’t know how helpful this answer is, but kind of both. They aren’t like soggy since they are frozen, but they aren’t super hard like eating an oreo plain would be.

By: sara

sara — Mon, 13 Jul 2015 22:47:01 +0000

OMG, this looks amazing! I have a huge family party coming up, so I will definitely be making this! My only question is that do the oreos become soft after putting the hot fudge topping? Or will they stay hard, because they are put in the freezer?

By: chelseamessyapron

chelseamessyapron — Sat, 02 May 2015 22:03:04 +0000

In reply to paige.

Nope! It does well even after being frozen. I wouldn’t leave it in the freezer longer than a 2 days though because I could see it getting pretty hard after that.

paige — Sat, 02 May 2015 20:26:02 +0000

after freezing the cake.. is the brownie layer completely frozen and is it hard to cut through?

By: chelseamessyapron

chelseamessyapron — Mon, 08 Sep 2014 12:37:00 +0000

In reply to Debra Post.

Yes absolutely keep the brownies in the pan. When I say remove – I mean from the oven. Once the brownies are cooled and topped with everything I cover the 9 x 13 pan with tin foil and place it in the freezer. It freezes in the pan like that and then you can cut into bars once everything is frozen and return any leftovers to the freezer.

So great to hear! Thanks for the comment Shannon 🙂

Can you keep brownies in pan and just add the rest of ingredients? If not then when you take brownies out of pan, how do you keep everything together so it doesn’t melt. Also how would you cover this to put in freezer?

I made this for a 4th of July party today. Everyone loved it! Thank you for the recipe.

These bars look fabulous! I’m a huge chocolate and oreo lover and I TOTALLY understand trying to “make it better” haha so guilty of that! It clearly worked here though!

There is no way this wouldn’t be a hit as a dessert. Everything in it is delicious, but it also has the look of something expensive if you got it at a restaurant.

This dessert is just calling my name, Chelsea! Anything with oreos and brownies are a winner in my book. Pinning this for later! 🙂

These look amazing!! Is it a sign that I should make them that my son happened to pick up Oreo’s when we were at the grocery store today?! I’m thinking yes!

I love the photos you have of how this ice cream bar was made!! It looks crazy easy and impossible to stop eating!! Ice cream anything is the way to go in the summer. I usually reach for the cookies and cream so i’m all over this Chelsea! Thanks for sharing 🙂

All I can think about is grabbing a few and running away! Brownie, hot fudge, oreos, ice-cream… Your killing me! YUM!!

Oh my, I need these ice cream bars in my life! I love putting Oreos in brownies, so layering them up with some hot fudge and ice cream sounds like the best idea! They look fantastic. Have a good week, Chelsea! 🙂

By: Ashley

Whoa baby! These look crazy good Chelsea!

haha my husband is the same way – he always gets mad at me whenever I make anything other than plain vanilla bean ice cream. Now don’t get me wrong, I love plain vanilla bean but I mean there are just so many other options out there!!

By: Karly

Karly — Mon, 30 Jun 2014 16:39:02 +0000

My husband is the same way! “Can you please just make normal brownies?” Um, can you please not be so boring?

LOVE THESE.
