- 2 cups chocolate milk
- 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix 3.9 ounces - small box

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF and spray a 9x13-baking pan with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry cake mix, eggs and melted butter; stir until well combined. The brownie batter will be very thick. Spread into the prepared pan and bake for 13-14 minutes until the top springs back when you touch it. Allow the brownie base to cool to room temperature.1 box dry chocolate cake mix, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup unsalted butter

- Once the pudding is thickened, spread it over the cooled cake layer. Place in the refrigerator.
- Pour the chocolate chips into a bowl. In a small saucepan, heat up the heavy cream just until boiling (or heat the cream in the microwave). Pour the heated cream over the chocolate chips and let the bowl sit for 5 minutes while the chocolate chips melt. Then stir until well combined and silky smooth. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Then, drizzle the ganache evenly over the pudding and spread gently to cover. Chill for at least 2 hours. Cut into bars and serve.12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
Notes
These chocolate brownies will need to be stored in the refrigerator because of the pudding layer. Make sure they are sealed well so they don't dry out.
You can freeze the bars, but it may affect the texture slightly. As with any dessert, allow them to defrost in the packaging completely before unwrapping them. This will help them to stay moist and have the best flavor.
