The Best Layered Brownie Recipe

My family are HUGE chocolate lovers and so we definitely make brownies a lot.

This is THE the yummiest layered brownie ever!

Now I layered mine with oreo cookies but you could really use just about any cookie or dare I say candy bar??!

Then I made homemade royal icing and crushed up some candy canes for a sweet topping.

I made this for the teachers at Lauren’s school this week and I hope they loved it. I know ours at home was gone in less than a day. So here is the recipe for the best-layered brownie ever!
