Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8" square pan with butter, then place two sheets of parchment paper in the pan and up the sides, so that all four walls are covered with parchment paper. In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, melt together the butter and chocolate. Turn off the heat, then immediately whisk in the cocoa powder until combined and smooth.

Step 2

In a medium sized mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment to beat together the eggs and sugar for 2-3 minutes, until they're light and fluffy. Slowly whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Add in the flour and salt. Whisk together just until no flour streaks remain. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, then arrange the 16 oreos in an even layer over the brownies, pushing them down slightly into the batter. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the brownies are set on the outsides and only slightly jiggly in middle

Step 3

Add the butter and salt to a medium sized mixing bowl or to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat the butter and salt on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add in half of the powdered sugar and mix it until well combined. Add in the remaining powdered sugar and mix on low speed for an additional 2 minutes. Add in the vanilla and heavy cream. Beat the mixture until it's light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Crush the oreos, then mix them into the buttercream. Once the brownies have fully cooled to room temperature, spread the buttercream into an even layer on top of them.

Step 4

Add the chocolate to a small bowl and set aside. Add the heavy cream to a small saucepan set over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Remove the cream from the heat and immediately pour it over the chocolate. Whisk the mixture together until it's smooth. Place the ganache in the freezer and stir it every 5 minutes until it cools down (this should take about 15 minutes total) Pour the ganache into an even layer over the frosting. If desired, crush up more oreos and sprinkle them on top of the ganache. Let it set in fridge for an hour. Enjoy!
