Cool until set, about 1 hour. For brownies, cut into 6 rows by 6 rows.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

To crush cookies, place them in a resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and finely crush with rolling pin or meat mallet. (Or, use food processor to crush them.) The cookies lend flavor and texture to the baked brownies but are not visible in the brownies.

These are very moist fudgy brownies. They may seem soft when they come out of the oven, but when they are completely cooled, they will cut nicely.

Extra special when served with a scoop of softened caramel ice cream or a dollop of sweetened whipped cream on top.

One of the best brownie recipes EVER!!! First made these about 3 years ago when I found the recipe in a Pillsbury cookbook. HUGE hit! I didn't use nuts on top as we don't care for nuts in our brownies. A bit labour intensive, and definitely a more expensive recipe - I've made it several times to take out or for company.

One word: decadent!! These were really great, very rich. Love the crunchy cashews on top, yummy. Perfect with a big glass of milk.
