Jill's "Signature" Brownies

Never have I ever eaten two brownies in one day...until yesterday.  I normally have excellent willpower when it comes to eating baked goods.  Trying to avoid eating these brownies, however, is impossible.  They are just so amazing!  

Whenever my sister makes brownies, this is the recipe she turns to.  We call them Jill's brownies...or, that's what I call them anyway. We were throwing a bridal shower for a dear friend and struggling with what to make, but we knew these would be a hit.  Everybody loved them, so I promised to post the recipe.  I cannot take credit for them though.  It was ALL Jill (she's a rockstar)!


Fudgy Brownies

Ingredients:
1 package fudge brownie mix (13-inch by 9-inch pan size)
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 to 3 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons cold 2% milk
4-1/2 teaspoons instant vanilla pudding mix
1 can (16 ounces) chocolate fudge frosting

Directions:
1.  Prepare and bake brownies according to package directions.  Cool on a wire rack.
2.  Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat the confectioners' sugar, butter, peanut butter, milk and pudding mix until smooth.  Spread over cooled brownies.
3.  Cover and refrigerate brownies for 30 minutes or until firm.
4.  Frost with chocolate fudge frosting just before cutting.
