Middle:

1/2 package of Keebler Elf Wafer cookies with fudge filling

Topping:

1 Package Duncan Hines Turtle Brownies mixed accd to package directions

Assembly:  Line a 9x9 pan with foil overlapping the edges so you can remove brownies when cool.  Mix the cookie dough using (about 1/2 the recipe) and press onto the bottom evenly.  Either freeze the rest of the dough or use the rest to bake the cookies at 375 for 8-10 minutes.

Next layer the cookies on top of the dough.  I used half the package.  After you have mixed your brownies according to the directions, spoon the mixture over the cookies.

bake in a pre-heated 350 oven for 30-40 minutes.  You don't want ot over bake so watch carefully!  I checked at 30 minutes and mine were ready.  Let sit until cool and then lift out of foil.  Cut and enjoy.  You can garnish with caramel sauce and ice cream!  YUMMY!
