Equipment

  • 1 9-inch round baking dish
  • 1 small sauce pan
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box fudge brownie mix (enough to fit a 9x13" pan)
  • 6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips melted (1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup salted butter (1 stick)
  • 2 cups whipped topping thawed (or 2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped)
  • 1 tsp. chocolate sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Prepare brownie mix according to package directions (using egg, water, and oil) for fudge-like brownies.
  • Spread batter into a greased and floured 9-inch round baking dish.
  • Bake at 350º for approximately 38-42 minutes, or until the center springs back when gently touched with fingers.
  • Cool for 10 minutes in baking dish.
  • Invert torte onto a serving plate and cool completely.
  • Melt chocolate chips and butter over low heat in a small saucepan; stir continuously until smooth.
  • Remove from heat; cool.
  • Spread chocolate over top of the brownie layer.
  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • If chocolate feels cool to the touch, mound up whipped topping on chocolate layer leaving a one to two-inch border around the outside edge.
  • Sprinkle whipped topping with chocolate sprinkles.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve. 

Notes

NOTE: You can also microwave the chocolate chips and butter. Stir until smooth.
 
NOTE: My brownie mix required ¼ cup water, 1/3 cup oil and 1 large egg. I substituted half-and-half for the water to make the brownie portion richer.
