Ingredients
-
1 18.3 oz brownie mix for fudge-like brownies (or if you are lazy like me, buy pre-made non-frosted brownies)

-
1 cup powdered sugar

1/4 tsp peppermint extract

1 10-oz pkg Andes Mint Baking Chips, or 2 boxes of Andes Mints, broken into small chunks

2 3.9 oz boxes chocolate fudge instant pudding mix (the Ghiradelli dark chocolate one is amazing)
-
3 cups cold milk
Directions
-
1. Prepare brownies in a 9x13 inch baking dish according to package directions, then allow to cool completely (or just layer pre-made brownies in a dish).
-
2. In a mixing bowl, beat together sugar, cream cheese, and peppermint extract (plus food coloring if desired) until completely blended. Add 1 1/2 cups Andes Mint Chips or pieces and stir until combined. Fold in 2 cups whipped topping. Spread over brownie.
