Deliciously Trashy Brownies... Not for the faint of heart

I am an admitted food whore. I drool at the pictures in cookbooks like my husband drools at the Victoria's Secret magazine. Food Network is my porn & Paula, Giada and Rachel are my closest friends. In fact, I'm such a whore that while visiting family in San Francisco, I could not wait to check out the Tyler Florence store in hopes I could get a glimpse of him. (Who needs the Golden Gate Bridge??) He wasn't there... Boo! (Although I did see Bobby Flay while dining at Mesa Grill. Onlookers would have sworn Brad Pitt was in the kitchen by my reaction.)

Needless to say, the recipe for Slutty Brownies was right up my alley. Who wouldn't love a dessert with such a name?!? I whipped up a batch and took them to a friend’s house. 
Let's just say the entire pan was devoured in 15 minutes.... Okay, it was ten... Don't judge me... 
 
 
Although they were incredibly delicious as is, eating them made me feel as though I,
president of the itty bitty titty committee, was back at my junior prom standing on the 
sidelines while the big busted popular girl danced with the captain of the football 
team. They just weren't slutty enough to get noticed. So I amped it up by throwing on 
a pair on heels and some ruby red lipstick, or in baking terms, coconut, walnuts and 
caramel and went from slutty to deliciously trashy... Enjoy.
 
Deliciously Trashy Brownies
 
 
One box Krusteaz bakery style chocolate chunk cookie mix
1 egg
1 stick softened butter
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut 
 
One package double stuff Oreos 
One box Betty Crocker brownie mix with walnuts
3 TBS water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
 
1/4 cup caramel topping

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350*.  
Prepare cookie mix according to package directions with the addition of the coconut. 
Press into greased 9x9 baking dish.
 
 
Top with Oreos
 
(I know what you're thinking... "Shouldn't there be more Oreos?" Technically, Yes. I was hungry. We're all friends here and therefore, don't look down at each other for not having any willpower. If you can, completely cover the cookie layer with Oreos.... SHOWOFF!! =) )

Next, Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions and pour onto Oreos.


Top with 1/4 cup caramel
Bake at 350* for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool (if you can wait that long) and ENJOY!


Q&A:
What if I don't like coconut?
Then don't add it duh! I go nuts for cowboy butts coconuts so I did.

Wouldn't have been easier to use the Turtle Brownie Mix?
Yes, but this is what I had on hand so I went with it.

Can I add a layer of Marshmallow Creme before adding the Oreos?
Ooh, you dirty dirty girl! ;)

How many servings does this recipe make?
My husband doesn't eat sweets, so in my case 1. I have spent many hours on the elliptical due to my whorish ways! lol
