Amy, I thought so too, but the key is to use regular Oreos and not the double stuffed. I’ve made this recipe 4 or 5 times now and I find new tricks at make them better, each time. Here’s what I learned: 1. Use regular Oreos. 2. Spray the pan, then use powdered sugar to “flour” the pan. It helps when cutting them up and making sure not to leave any crumbs behind. 3. Use 1.5 cups of MINI chocolate chips (whether it be the milk, semi-sweet, or white). The mini chips will fall into the cracks of the bigger sized chips and will help melt everything together. 4. Let the ingredients sit for 15 minutes after drizzling the sweetened condensed milk. It will fall into the cracks better and mold everything together to make more of a “bar” cookie.
I also skip the nuts. This recipe is really easy and always a crowd pleaser.

While the flavors were all there, and worked so well together, I felt like this was way to GREASY! Oreo’s themselves have shortening in the middle, and to add 1/2 C. of butter was waaaaay to much. I am mad at myself for not realizing it before making them. If I ever try again I would seriously cut the butter down, and I love butter, really unfortunate.
