1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Line a 9x13 iinch baking dish with parchment paper (or foil) and spray with cooking/baking spray.
-
2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt; set aside.
-
3
In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, whisking (stirring with a spatula is fine, too) after each addition. Gradually add dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
-
4
Spread half of the batter over the bottom of the prepared pan. Layer Oreos on top of batter in 5 rows of 4 Oreos. Pour remaining 1/2 of batter over tops of Oreos and spread evenly, making sure cookies are covered completely.
-
5
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs and a small amount of batter when inserted. Transfer pan to a cooling rack to cool.
-
6
Once pan is cool enough to handle, remove brownies from the pan (with the parchment paper) and place on the cooling rack to allow to cool completely.
-
7
Once brownies are completely cool, use a sharp knife to trim the edges. Use a round cookie cutter (mine was 3 inches but feel free to use whatever size you desire) to cut out 6 circles (I also used a small cutter to cut out circles from brownie scraps).
-
8
Place circles on a sheet of wax paper and set aside while making ganache.
-
9
For the ganache:
-
10
Place chocolate chips and espresso powder (if using) in a small/medium bowl. Heat cream in microwave on high for 30 seconds, or until hot. Pour cream over chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes.
-
11
After 2 minutes, whisk mixture until completely smooth; set aside.
-
12
To assemble, melt the white chocolate and place in a small plastic resealable bag. Set aside.
-
13
Spoon some ganache on top of each brownie (I did about 2 spoonfuls, but use however much you desire) and spread evenly over the top (it's okay if some ganache drips over the sides).
-
14
Place two candy eyes on each square, then, snip a small corner off the bag with the chocolate and pipe onto each brownie in criss cross patterns to create the bandages (see video in post if you want a visual guide), avoiding the eyes.
-
15
Allow brownies to sit at room temperature for about an hour before transferring to a serving plate and serving. Enjoy!
