When I tasted these brownies I knew they were just perfect for me/ Of course, that was because they consisted of two of my favorite things! They are super thick, fudgey, moist, brownies topped with an eggless cookie dough and cute mini chocolate chips and mini M&M's. They are easy enough for kids to make! I think they taste best cold out of the fridge. Give them a try...I dare you! 
 

Brownies

1 box of brownie mix for a 13x9-inch baking pan plus ingredients called for on the box or your favorite brownie recipe (for thicker brownies use a 9x9-inch baking dish)
 

Cookie Dough

• 1 1/2 sticks butter, softened
• ¾ C. brown sugar
• 1/3 C. sugar
• 4 1/2 Tbsp. milk
• 1 1/2 C. flour
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 3/4 C. mini M&M's
• 3/4 C. mini chocolate chips 

Prepare the brownies according to the package directions. Let them cool completely. Next, combine the butter and sugars and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add in the milk, flour, and vanilla and beat until well combined. Then stir in the mini chocolate chips and M&M's. Spread the cookie dough on the cooled brownies. Chill the brownies until the cookie dough is firm. Serve. YUM!
