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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, mixing the eggs, vegetable oil, and water with the brownie mix until smooth.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Spread the prepared chocolate pudding evenly over the cooled brownies, ensuring full coverage.

Step 7

Spread the whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer, creating a fluffy final layer.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your Make Ahead Brownie Delight!
