Ice Cream Sundae Oreo Brownies

Y'all I love these brownies so much.  I mean, what's not to love ... brownies, ice cream, hot fudge and Oreos.  
This is the brownie mix that I used.  It comes with a fudge packet in it so I put that fudge in a 1/4 cup measuring cup and then added the hot fudge topping to make a full 1/4 cup.  As you can see, I also used Birthday Cake Oreos because they are my current favorite.  

 Ingredients:
· 1 box fudge brownie mix
· Eggs and oil as called for by the brownie mix
· 1 heaping ½ cup cookies and cream ice cream
· ¼ cup hot fudge topping, room temperature or chilled
· 1 package Oreos

Directions:
1. Preheat oven according to directions on the box and coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Combine brownie mix with eggs and oil as directed on the box but do not add the water. Add the ice cream and hot fudge to the brownie batter and stir to combine.
3. Pour half of the brownie batter into the baking dish, layer with Oreos and top with remaining batter.
4. Bake for 40-45 minutes or as directed on the box. Don’t overbake. Let cool completely before cutting.
