Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- 2 large eggs (for brownie mix)
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil (for brownie mix)
- 2 tablespoons water (for brownie mix)
- 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 8 ounces whipped topping (thawed)
- 0.25 cup chocolate syrup
- 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, mixing the eggs, vegetable oil, and water with the brownie mix until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the brownies cool completely.
While the brownies cool, prepare the pudding layer by whisking together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk in a medium bowl. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens, then refrigerate for 5-10 minutes.
Once the brownies are fully cooled, use a fork to gently poke holes across the surface of the brownies to allow the layers to soak in flavors.
Spread the prepared chocolate pudding evenly over the cooled brownies, ensuring full coverage.
Spread the whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer, creating a fluffy final layer.
Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the whipped topping in a decorative pattern. Optionally, sprinkle chocolate shavings or sprinkles on top for added texture and flair.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your Make Ahead Brownie Delight!
