The Best Chocolate Oreo Bars
Recently my family was asking for a chocolate dessert. I went poking around my pantry because I didn’t want to make a trip to the store.
Knowing that my Lemon Oreo Bars are a really popular recipe here on the blog, I thought Chocolate Oreo Bars might be a good idea.

I was right. They are super easy to make and, if you like Oreos, you probably have all the ingredients. All you need is a chocolate cake mix, preferably Devil’s food, the ingredients to make it and Oreos.
Like the lemon version, I put a simple powdered sugar glaze on top.
I made this in a 9×9-inch pan. You could make it in an 8×8-inch pan and it will be thicker. It’s a matter of personal preference.
The middle did sink a bit when it started to cool but it was still delicious. The crumb is more dense than that of a cake.
This is an easy recipe to get the kids involved. They can mix the ingredients and crush the Oreos. After all, who doesn’t love to smash cookies into crumbs?!
I put the cookies in a heavy-duty zipper bag and let my kids pound away. I don’t recommend a food processor for this task because you want big chunks of cookie for the top, not fine crumbs.
More Oreo Desserts
With Oreos being one of the most popular cookies on the market, they are very easy to use in desserts.
Try Oreo cheesecake bars, 2-ingredient Oreo Fluff, or Oreo fudgesicles for a summer treat. If you want a quick chocolate fix that includes Oreos, try my Oreo mug cake.
