Ingredients
Brownies
- one 18-ounce box brownie mix (or double just the brownie portion of this recipe plus water, oil, and eggs called for on the box
- ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Frosting & Topping
- 8 ounces brick-style cream cheese softened
- 1 ½ cups cold 2% milk must be real milk and not almond, soy, etc. or pudding will not set up, divided

- one 8-ounce container whipped topping thawed (I used fat free)
- about 1/4 cup chocolate sauce such as Hershey's

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a 9x13-inch pan with foil for easier cleanup and spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- Make brownies as directed (if there is a choice, use the 'fudgy' brownie directions), adding the water, oil, and eggs.
- After the batter is mixed up, add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
- Turn batter out into prepared pan and bake for about 20 to 22 minutes, or until brownies are done; I prefer to err on the side of slightly underdone. Allow brownies to cool completely in pan.
- After brownies have cooled, to a large bowl, add the cream cheese and beat with a handheld electric mixer until smooth.
- Add 1/2 cup milk, pudding mix, and beat on low speed until smooth and combined.
- Add the remaining milk and beat until combined and starting to thicken, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the whipped topping and beat until combined. Turn the mixture out over the brownies, smoothing it lightly with a spatula.
- Cover pan and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better) to set up.
- Evenly drizzle the chocolate syrup over the top in a random pattern. Using a table knife, pull it through the chocolate sauce to create a ripple effect before serving.
Notes
- Brownies will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.
