Ultimate White Chocolate Chunk Cookie 'n Choc-kit Fudge Whitie


Most of you loved my post about the Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie 'n Oreo Fudge Brownie Bar and I promised to try making a breastfeeding friendly version with white chocolate. I made them last weekend but just never got around to posting about it last week.

So I started off with the idea that I would just replace all the milk and dark chocolate with white chocolate and replace the Oreo's with a white chocolate biscuit. I had bought some white chocolate wafers but my husband vetoed those in an instant. He said I had to use white chocolate Choc-kits. Now I looooooove Choc-kits. I managed to find some but much to my disappointment I couldn't find white chocolate chips for the cookie base. So I bought some good quality white chocolate and made my own. They turned out more like white chocolate chunks rather than chips.

My little 3 year old was my big helper and she laid out the biscuits for me. 

When it came to making the Sticky Toffee Brownies, I used a little more white chocolate than dark chocolate just to get the flavour right. I also had to make more than I did for the brownies, the mixture was thicker and didn't cover the biscuits completely. I must add that I cooked the toffee mix a little longer to add extra fudgey toffeeness.

This was the final product. It doesn't look as decadent and mouth watering without the chocolate sauce drizzling over it but I had to leave that out. I guess I could have come up with a white chocolate version but I had used up all my white chocolate in the recipe itself. It was generally accepted that these were even better than the brown version.

These have been dubbed Whities despite not being at all white!

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie 'n Oreo Fudge Brownie Bar



So I found this ...


on this blog ... www.kevinandamanda.com and decided I had to make it. The sad thing is that I cannot have any of it because I am still breastfeeding and chocolate and a 5 month old baby do not mix well. I did have one little sliver to taste though. Absolutely decadent.

First you make a chocolate chip cookie mix and put it into a large lined baking tin.
The difference in colours is because the cookie recipe I used didn't make quite enough to cover the bottom of the dish so I whipped up half a batch more but I had run out of chocolate chips and substituted them with grated chocolate instead.

Then you put a layer of Oreos on top of that. Preferably what they call Double Stuffed Oreos. I've never seen them so I guess we don't get them.

Then you make a brownie mix and layer that on top and bake at 180 celcius for 45 minutes. I don't trust box mixes of brownies so I used my wicked sticky toffee brownie recipe.

 In the oven and we were all waiting with great expectation...

...And voila!!!!

Once they have cooled you stack two on top of each other ...Then you put a scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top and top it all off with chocolate sauce.

Absolutely wickedly decadent.

As Amanda did, I have found people to give them away to because they must not be in my house! 

Here is the link to the original one by Amanda ... http://www.kevinandamanda.com/recipes/new-recipes/ultimate-chocolate-chip-cookie-n-oreo-fudge-brownie-bar.html

After seeing how much everyone enjoyed them yesterday afternoon when we did Sunday afternoon 'Coffee and Cake' at a friend's house I think I need to come up with a white chocolate, breastfeeding friendly version. Check back early next week to see if I managed to come with something over the weekend ... I hope I do.
