Instructions

For the Brownies:

Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees. Line a 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, and spray with nonstick spray.

Notes

Brownie Mix: To save a couple minutes use a box brownie mix for the brownie layers instead of using our favorite brownie recipe.
Storage Instructions: Store the leftover brownies wrapped tightly with plastic wrap and foil, or topped with a lid for up to 4 days at room temperature. If your home is extra warm, store them in the fridge to prevent the fudge topping from melting.
Freezer Instructions: They can also be wrapped individually in plastic wrap, then put in a freezer safe bag and frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the fridge, or at room temperature until soft to enjoy.
