Cookie Dough Brownies
Description
This layered dessert starts with a classic boxed brownie baked in a foil-lined dish. Once cooled, a peanut butter mixture made from creamy or chunky peanut butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla is spread over the brownies. On top of that, a cookie dough layer made by creaming butter and sugars, then mixing in vanilla, milk, flour, salt, mini chocolate chips, oats, and chopped peanut M&M's is spooned and pressed gently to form an even topping. Finally, a drizzle of melted white chocolate mixed with coconut oil or butter is poured over the top for added sweetness and sheen. The bars are chilled to set before serving.
The brownies provide a fudgy, slightly chewy base, while the peanut butter layer adds a smooth, dense creaminess. The cookie dough topping contributes a soft, slightly grainy texture with bursts of chocolate and peanut candy crunch. The white chocolate drizzle provides a creamy, sweet finish that complements the chocolate and peanut flavors. Overall, the bars are rich and indulgent with multiple contrasting textures.
Serve chilled for clean slices and best texture. These bars make a decadent dessert or treat for special occasions where layered sweets are desired.
