Ingredients
For the Peanut Butter Cookie Dough
- 2 packages peanut butter cookie mix (about 17.5 ounces each)
- 3 Tbsp vegeatable oil
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 egg
For the Chocolate Fudge Layer
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 x 13 baking pan with aluminum foil. Spray with nonstick baking spray.
- Mix cookie dough according to package directions using the egg, vegetable oil, and water. ,Spread ½ of it on the bottom of prepared baking pan.
- Add sweetened condensed milk, butter, and chocolate chips to a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until all ingredients are melted and combined. Add vanilla. Pour over first layer of peanut butter cookie dough.
- Drop remaining cookie dough over fudge layer. I like to drop it in about Tablespoon sized pieces. You can flatten the pieces out before setting them on the fudge layer if you like. Don’t worry about having spots of the fudge layer that are still exposed. It will be just fine!
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Cool.
- Cut in to squares.
