You look like you could use some sugar. Maybe some Oreos or a brownie or two? Of course, if the week has been extra rough, 5-6 brownies.
Even if you think you don't need this extra sugar, trust me on this.
You want some of these sitting in your fridge just waiting for you to come home to.
I don't know why, but brownies are my one of my most favorite things. The only thing slightly better than a chocolate brownie are gooey Loaded Blonde Brownies (see still a brownie:-)
For these bad boys you need to bake up the brownies in a larger pan and then cut out circles with a 2 inch cookie cutter. Each jar is going to get two circles.
What you do with the leftovers is up to you!!! I hear they are good right from the pan or crumbled up over ice cream.
But that's just what I hear;-)
Have you had a chance to try the new cream cheese indulgences? I tried out the chocolate cream cheese in this cheesecake s'mores danish.
And the leftover cream cheese just sort of disappeared...someone with a spoon took over.
I have been to Walmart like every day this week. Maybe if I kept a running list of what I needed, I could avoid this place. Because for some reason I end up buying something extra EVERY TIME.
This time the white chocolate cream cheese begged to come home with me. I was powerless to resist its sweet talking. The minute I got it home, I had to open it and try a spoonful.
Oh my...it's a good thing I had an agenda for the stuff because I could have kept on shoveling it into my mouth.
Oh yea, guess what else I bought? These chocolate cream filled cookies decided they needed a new home! I felt it was only right as a food blogger to fulfill their life long dream.
And what better place to house them, but in a jar with brownies and cream cheese.
Everything just looks so much better in cute little jars, right?
I think these White Chocolate Oreo Brownie Parfaits would be perfect for Mother's Day. Or any other day....like a Wednesday maybe?
Make up about a dozen for mom...because she totally deserves it...and another dozen for everyone else.
And if you don't have any jars or just want to make it easier, layer it all in one giant glass bowl and go to town on it.
White Chocolate Oreo Brownie Parfait
Brownies layered with white chocolate cream cheese, Cool Whip, and Oreo cookies...these are a great summer dessert!
Ingredients
- 1 brownie mix (for a 9x13 pan)
- 2 - 8 ounce containers Philadelphia White Chocolate cream cheese (softened)
- 1 - 16 ounce container Cool Whip, thawed and divided
- 5 cups Oreo cookie crumbles
- ½ cups mini Oreo cookies for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare brownie mix according to the back of the package.
- Spray a 12×17 jelly roll pan with non stick spray and spread the batter out. Bake for 12-13 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Use a 2 inch round cookie cutter and cut out 24 brownie circles.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until creamy.
- Fold in 3 cups Cool Whip. Divide the mixture in half and place in two bowls.
- Chop up enough cookies to make 5 cups. Divide the cookie crumbs evenly into two bowls.
- Start layering your dessert by placing one brownie round in 12 jars. Use one bowl of cream cheese mixture and divide it evenly in the jars. Using one bowl of cookie crumbs, divide that evenly on top of the cream cheese.
- Repeat the layers again with the remaining brownies, cream cheese, and cookie crumbs.
- Top with extra Cool Whip, a mini cookie, and sprinkles when serving. Keep refrigerated. Makes 12 parfaits.

Jocelyn,
These look Amazing! Yet sound pretty simple to make; my kind of dessert! I have a ton of jars laying around from all the years of canning and I just might have to make these for Mother's Day Brunch because we travel and what a great way to transport a dessert. Thanks so much for sharing at Creative Thursday. Can't wait to see what you link up next week.

Jocelyn, I'm so jealous! I've been waiting for our stores to start stocking this new fangled cream cheese for months! Small town, back woods does have a few disadvantages. And I would have been happy to help you "get rid" of those scraps!
Looks yummy!
