Oreo Brownies

Recipe & Image taken from http://bakeat350.blogspot.ca

1 cup dutch-process cocoa (such as Hershey's Dark)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cups unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup, plain flour
20 oreo cookies
1 teaspoon corn syrup
1 teaspoon water
sprinkles

Preheat oven to 325. Grase a 9x13 baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.  Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium-low until melted.  Add the sugar and stir to combine.  Continue heating for about 1-2 minutes until hot.

Remove the pan from the heat and add to the cocoa mixture, stirring until combined.  Add the eggs and vanilla, stir until totally combined.
Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan.  Top with 20 Oreos.  Cover with the remaining batter; spread gently with an offset spatula.

Bake for about 30 minutes until the brownies are done, but the center still looks soft.

Det the pan on a wire cooling rack and let cool for 10 minutes.  Meanwhile, stir together the corn syrup and water.
After 10 minutes, lightly brush the corn syrup mixture onto the cooled brownies.  Scatter on the sprinkles.  

Let the brownies cool and completely before cutting.
