Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
1 pkg chocolate or fudge cake mix
1 egg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup chopped cashews (or your favorite nuts)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Frosting:
2/3 cup confectioners sugar
1 tbsp cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 tsp heavy cream or whole milk (about)
Preheat oven to 350. Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with non-stick foil. Pour cake mix into a very large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the egg and oil into the well. Blend until the mixture is combined to a crumbly texture. Fold in the cashews. Remove 1 cup of the mixture and set aside for later.
Pour remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of the foil-lined baking pan. Press firmly into an even layer.
In a small saucepan, bring the sweetened condensed milk slowly to a simmer. Turn off heat and immediately stir in chocolate chips, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until chocolate is melted and all is combined. Pour chocolate mixture evenly over the crumb layer in the pan. Sprinkle reserved 1 cup of chocolate crumb mixture evenly over the fudge layer. Bake about 30 minutes until the edges are firm. Place on a rack and let cool completely before adding the frosting.
Frosting: Whisk together powdered sugar, cream cheese, and heavy cream until smooth. It should be thick, but still thin enough to extrude. Pour into a zip-top plastic bag, press out all the air, and seal. Snip a very tiny bit of the corner from the bottom of the bag. Use as a pastry bag to drizzle frosting in a decorative pattern over the top of the brownie dream bars. Let brownies sit at room temperature for about an hour before cutting to let the frosting firm up. Store leftovers covered at room temperature.
