Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box brownie mix (plus required eggs, oil, and water)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips (divided)
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- Green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- Prepare brownie mix according to package instructions and spread evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 20 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Stir in flour and salt until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.
- Carefully press the cookie dough layer over the cooled brownie base.
- In a saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until smooth and melted.
- Remove from heat, add peppermint extract and green food coloring if using. Stir to combine.
- Fold in the remaining 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, then immediately pour fudge mixture over the cookie dough layer, spreading evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
- Lift out of the pan using parchment overhang, slice into squares, and serve.
Notes
- Make sure brownie layer is fully cooled before adding cookie dough to avoid melting it.
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for a smoother fudge consistency.
- Store bars in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
