4.84 from 6 votes

Ingredients  

For the brownies:

  • 3 bars, 3.5 oz Lindt Bittersweet Chocolate, chopped
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup flour

For the 'grey stuff'

  • 1 3.4 oz package Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
  • 1 1/2 cups Whole Milk
  • 15 Oreos, regular, not double-stuffed
  • 1 8 oz package Whipped Topping
  • 3 tablespoons Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
  • Edible Pearl Sprinkles

Instructions 

To make the brownies:

  • Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a brownie pan (8X8 inches) with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter and the chocolate using a double boiler method. For that, heat a saucepan filled halfway through with water until the water boils. Set a smaller pan (or heat proof bowl) into the bigger saucepan. Add the butter and, once the butter is melted, add the chocolate and keep stirring until it melts.
  • Remove from heat and let it cool.
  • In a big bowl, add the eggs, the sugar, the vanilla extract and the salt. Using a hand mixer, beat until well combined.
  • Add the chocolate/butter mixture and beat using the lowest setting on your mixer, just until everything is incorporated.
  • Add the flour and beat only until combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes or until a tooth pick (cake tester) inserted comes clean or semi-clean.
  • Let it cool and cut your brownies into 8 rectangles.

To make the 'grey stuff':

  • In a large bowl, mix the vanilla pudding mix and the milk and whisk it until well combined. Take it to the fridge to cool and set for 10 minutes.
  • While the vanilla pudding is in the fridge, add the oreos to a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs.
  • Once the pudding is set, take it out of the fridge and mix the crushed oreos.
  • Fold in the Cool Whip. The mixture should be light grey but not quite the desired color.
  • To achieve the desired color, add the chocolate pudding mix and stir until incorporated.
  • Bring the bowl back to the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • To serve, fill a cake decorating bag fitted with a star tip (preferably Wilton 1M) and swirl onto the brownies. Decorate with the edible pearls and serve!
