1 package (16 oz) Pillsbury Place & Bake refrigerated chocolate fudge brownies
1 package (16 oz) Pillsbury Ready To Bake refrigerated chocolate chip cookies
1/2 cup M&M’s candy-coated chocolate candies
(see my tips below)

See my Darlene’s Concoctions videos!

DIRECTIONS:

1:  Heat oven to 350°F. Line 9-inch square pan with foil, allowing foil to hang over sides of pan for easy removal after baking. Spray with cooking spray.

2:  Press brownies evenly into bottom of pan. Bake 16 to 20 minutes or until brownies are set around edges and toothpick inserted in center of brownies comes out almost clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes.

3:  Crumble cookie dough into medium bowl and mix in chocolate candies. Drop mixture by spoonfuls onto top of baked brownie layer. With back of spoon or offset metal spatula, gently press cookie dough together to form even layer.

4:  Bake 22 to 26 minutes or until cookie layer is set and golden brown. (Cover with foil the last 5 minutes if necessary, to prevent overbrowning.) Cool completely, about 2 hours. Remove bars from pan; cut into 4 rows by 4 rows.

Darlene’s Tips:  You can bake your own brownies if you want. You don’t have to use the refrigerated brownies. You can also make your own cookie dough too. Peanut butter cookie dough on the chocolate brownies would be delish! Add any candy or nuts you want to the cookie dough.
