- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box: eggs, oil, water)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large 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)
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- Prepare brownie mix according to package instructions. Spread into the bottom of the pan and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.

- Add egg and vanilla extract, mix until well combined.
- Stir in flour and salt until dough forms. Fold in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.
- Gently press cookie dough layer over the slightly cooled brownie base.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt white chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk, stirring until smooth.
- Remove from heat, stir in peppermint extract and green food coloring (if using), then fold in remaining 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.
- Spread fudge layer evenly over the cookie dough. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set.
- Lift out of the pan, slice into squares, and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Cool brownie base slightly before adding cookie dough to prevent melting.
- Chill well before slicing for clean cuts.
- Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
