These Triple Decker Delight Brownie Bars are a combination of brownies, Double Stuff Heads or Tails Oreo Cookies and blondie bars studded with white chocolate chunks! They’re irresistible!
Hi-ya friends and Happy Monday!
Wow, what a weekend! After a few weekends in a row of rain, Mother Nature finally treated us to THE BEST fall weekend ever! I hope you guys had some fall fun because I know I did. My weekend started off in the best possible way. I headed to the Philly airport to pick up our son Casey who is home for fall break from the University of Michigan. I hadn’t seen Case since the beginning of August, so I was so excited! I spent the weekend making all of his favorites with today’s Triple Decker Delight Brownie Bars at the top of the list!
Of course, at mid-semester most college kids have some kind of cough/cold goin’ on. You know, because of all the weeks of late night studying they’ve been putting in, (cough, cough, partying), they’re running themselves ragged! Been there, done that, and so wish I could do it again! So you know I had to make a big pot of his favorite, Italian Wedding Soup to ward off the evil cough and cold spirits. And while we were watching the Eagles game on Sunday, my Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cups were next on the requested list.
As soon as he walked in the door though, it was all about these Triple Decker Delight Brownie Bars! Casey is my Dad to a T. He loves his chocolate and his desserts. And throw in some Oreos and he’s all in. There’s something similar in the blogosphere called “slutty brownies”, but these are just a bit different. They have a brownie base, a layer of Heads or Tails Double Stuff Oreo Cookies and then a layer of blondie batter on top, studded with white chocolate chunks.
I make these bars in a 9×9 pan and used 16 Oreos, 4 down and 4 across, so there’s a full Oreo in every bar. I’ve made them with all different flavors of Oreos, so include whatever flavor suits your fancy. Hope y’all enjoy them as much as Casey! Have an awesome week and hope to see you back the the BHK this Thursday when I’ll be collaborating with my friend Alida from Simply Delicious to bring you two fabulous pumpkin desserts!

Bake until skewer inserted into center comes out with a few moist pieces on it, about 25-27 minutes. Do not over bake. Remove from oven to wire rack to cool. Remove from pan by the parchment paper and cut into 2 inch squares.
These bars are perfect for the mid semester slump. Chocolate helps every situation (& combine it with nice fall weather – perfection!)
Yes, perfect for the mid-semester slump Megan! Hope school is going well. Have a great week!
Your son is one lucky guy! Sounds like you guys had a wonderful weekend filled with good food and good times! These brownies look SO good! I’m sure your son is in no rush to go back to school if you are making goodies like this….but I bet you wouldn’t mind ;) Pinning these beauties, of course! Have a wonderful week! xo
Oh, I wish he could stay even longer Dawn! He’s enjoying the treats and I’m sure enjoying having him around! Thanks for pinning and have an awesome week! XO
Yowza, these look amazing Mary Ann. So glad you’ve had a wonderful time with Casey.
It’s been so much fun Alida! Today it’s all about Philly cheesesteaks! And it’s his treat!!
What a perfect way to welcome your son home! I know my daughter was all about the home cooking when she would come home for a break :) These are brownie bar perfection!
Thanks so much Jennifer! Casey’s been loving them. Hope your week is wonderful!
Casey is a very lucky guy! Nothing like Mom’s cooking after so many months and with being a bit under the weather – it’s the perfect elixir! I’d take a pan (or two – ahem) of these brownies as often as I could!
He’s been loving all the homemade goodies Annie! And I LOVE making them for him! These bars are a total favorite of his. Hope you have a great week!
Sounds like you had a great weekend with your son! AND it sounds like he has the BEST mother who spoils him with tasty treats! ;) LOVE these brownies, Mary Ann! Talk about loaded with deliciousness! Boy would devour the entire pan of these in about 2 seconds flat! Pinned! Cheers!
Boy will love these Chey, just like Casey! I love having my boys home. I’ll be crying the blues tomorrow when he has to go back!
What a lucky kid Casey is. You must miss your boys so much. I will try to remind myself of this when I’m fussing about picking up my boys’ socks. I wish someone would greet me with a pan of these babies!
I miss my boys so much when they’re not home. So when they do come home they’re spoiled rotten. It’s my job! Have a wonderful week Karen!
I hope Casey got to take some these awesome brownies back for his friends or did you eat them all? Have a great week and I wish I could have on of your brownies right now, yummy ????.
He’s been eating them the last few days Gerlinde and loving each and every one! Today it’s all about Philly cheesesteaks! Have an awesome week!
That is one lucky kid, love the combo here!
Thanks Matt! He’s having a great time at home! I’ll be sad to see him go back tomorrow!
Your weekend sounds fabulous and I LOVE these brownie bars!!!!
It was a total blast Alice! Thanks so much. Casey absolutely loves these bars!
Helloooo deliciousness! I swore I would lay off the sweets this week, but when I see these brownies, I’m immediately thinking otherwise. I would definitely request these too whenever I came home, they look too good to pass up!
They’re so delicious Michelle and so incredibly hard to resist! Casey just loves them!
You’re killing me, Mary Ann – I’m trying to do the no sugar thing for the month of October – but this dessert would totally make me break my pledge – absolutely delicious. Casey is a lucky son to have such a great mom!
I’m so sorry Geraldine! Better not visit the blog on Thursday then!! Casey loves these bars! I LOVE having him home! Happy Monday!
Your son goes to U of Mich?! How fun! We’re right here in Ann Arbor if he ever needs anything. I know he’s all grown-up now so he’s probably always fine, but just throwing that out there. What a treat these are- you are such a sweet mom. Oreos used to be my ultimate comfort food. :)
Yes Emily! He loves it there! Thank you so much. He heads back tomorrow, but we’ll get to see him again in a few weeks. We are heading out for the UMich vs. Maryland game. I can’t wait!
Oh my goodness… these look wonderful!! Oreos are one of my weaknesses, despite the fact I prefer savory foods most of the time. I don’t eat them by themselves, but I LOVE them in desserts. And the chocolate chunks… so good!! :)
Oh Natasha, they’re so delicious and have always been one of Casey’s favorites!
Holy cow these are my kinda cookie, bar whatever! I am a brownie / blondie fanatic and honestly never heard of the “slutty” version, which I find hilariously named. You’re such a cool mom and wish I was there over the weekend for all the killer grub. ;)
Casey was definitely bulking up this weekend Kevin! He loves when I spoil him! These bars definitely hit the cookie, bar, brownie, blondie spot Kevin!!
Be still my heart… these bars are everything! I’m ready to skip dinner and go straight to dessert!
Yay! They’re a favorite Laura! Three treats wrapped up in one!
You are the best mom! These look so incredibly good Mary Ann!
Thanks so much Naomi! What we wouldn’t do for our boys right?! Hope you have a wonderful week!
These look so fantastic, Mary Ann! That gorgeous, crispy top just stole my heart. I love the idea of trying these with different flavored oreos, too – it’s always fun to customize things! Plus, getting to eat a recipe you love in a bunch of different ways sounds pretty great to me :-) Looking forward to see what new pumpkin recipes that you and Alida are making!
So glad you like these Stephanie! Yes, I definitely like to change up the Oreos every now and then. Thanks so much for leaving a comment! Have a great week!
So happy to hear you had a great weekend with your son! I can fully see why he beelined straight for these gorgeous bars – they look outstanding! Have a great week, Mary Ann :)
Thanks so much Rachel. I did get to enjoy one or two of these myself! Yay! Hope your week is wonderful too!
Brownie perfection <3
Thanks Jennifer!
Oh man! I’d be home every weekend if these brownie bars were served….or at least want a care package filled with them! These look amazing! :)
Casey has already requested a care package full of these for when he goes back Kathy! My work is never done!
These are simply gorgeous Mary Ann — LOVE!!! They look so good and the photos are beautiful!! Brava!!! xoxo
Thanks Rebecca! Casey loves these bars. Three of his favorites in one! XO
I am sure it’s been fun having your son home for a bit! And these bars actually sound a lot better than “the other bars”. If I was back in college I’d request you send some back with me and mail them over every week haha
It has Amanda! Thanks so much! Oh, I’ll be sending him more over the next few weeks, especially around exam time!
Oh boy Mary Ann. Casey is one lucky guy getting treated like such a king. I’m surprised he doesn’t head home more often with all that tasty food waiting for him. I’d be more than happy to serve as his stand in. ;-)
And these triple decker brownies. They are so pretty. I can see why they would be top on the request list.
I don’t know what I’ll do when he goes to Shanghai to study abroad next semester! I don’t know what he’ll do either. He’s my picky one, so I hope he enjoys the food!
Gorgeous and delicious as always Mary Ann. You’ll have Casey whipped back into shape in no time with all those goodies. And ready for all that late night studying ;-)
We know how that goes right Cathy?! Don’t ya just wish we could go back? Best time ever!
Your son is one lucky man! I would have loved to come home from college and have these delicious Triple Decker Delight Brownie Bars waiting for me.
I keep telling him that! Ha! Hope your week is going well Nicole!
Whoa! These are some seriously over the top brownie bars! I’m so glad you got some good weather and Casey made it home from school! I know he was excited for these bars!
Thanks Rachelle! Casey really loved being home! And these brownie bars!
Whoa! These look insanely delish! Triple decker is always the way to go!
I totally agree Tieghan! And so does Casey!
These look insane, Mary Ann! Your son is a smart guy – this would be the first thing I’d want too! So glad you guys got in a visit this weekend. Makes the time to Thanksgiving go a bit quicker, I bet! xoxo
Thanks Tessa! I’ll get to see him in two weeks because we’ll be heading out to UMich for a football game! Yay!!
Oh what a great mom :) College kids love coming home and being spoiled like this I am sure!! These brownie bars look great. Hope he has a great time at home and you enjoy your time together!
Thanks Zainab! He had so much fun and ate really well! I cooked and baked all weekend!
OMG I’m on total overload, Mary Ann! I don’t remember the last time I had an oreo.. but that needs to change! OMG – but I’d rather just have one of these! Hooray for Casey coming home!
Yes, hooray! I love when my boys are home!! So much fun and all good things to eat!
As the kids would say, OMG! We made these yesterday, and they came out perfect. It’s a great comfort during these rough times to surf the web and bake. Thanks!
Yay!! So happy they were a hit Peter! Thanks so much for following the BHK!
