Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, and I have the perfect chocolate dessert for you to share with your special someone. Over the weekend, our friends Shelby and Matt had us over for dinner and I opted to bring dessert. Anything chocolate is always my go to. I must confess that I am a chocoholic.

My friend Shelby and her husband hosted us for dinner. She is also a fellow food blogger.

Our weekend was busy as usual, so I knew that I wouldn’t have time to bake anything from scratch. Instead, I opted to spruce up a boxed brownie mix and top them with the dreamiest cookies and cream frosting.  I love boxed brownie mixes because they are extremely versatile. You can very easily mix in a variety of ingredients into your brownies such as, chocolate chips, candies and you can also top your baked brownies with a gourmet frosting. To be honest, I have yet to find a homemade brownie recipe that I have liked more than the boxed mixes. Rich fudgy brownies, topped with a cookies and cream frosting are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Instructions

1. Prepare the brownies as directed on the box. After baking, set the brownies aside to cool.
2. In a stand mixer, combine 1 stick of butter, 1 tsp of vanilla, 1 lb of confectioners sugar and 4 tbsp of whole milk. Set the mixer speed to low and mix for approximately 2 minutes and then increase the speed to medium.

4. Dump the cookie crumbs into the stand mixer with the frosting. Set the mixer speed to low and mix until combined.
5. Finally, spread the cookies and cream frosting on top of the brownies and if desired you can crumble a few extra cookies over top of the brownies.

Recipe Notes

If you feel like your frosting is too thick, feel free to add in an extra 1-2  tablespoons of milk.
