Extreme Brownies Supreme (with Lighter Options)

I first tasted these awesome 'dolled up' brownies at a friend's baby shower. 

A layer of cream cheese/powdered sugar, then instant pudding and whipped topping, topped with candy bars over a brownie base.  

WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE???

I've always used a low fat brownie mix, light cream cheese, sugar free pudding and lite whipped topping. The sugar free peanut butter cups are great too. 

This recipe is in my cookbook.  The comments I added were...
"This recipe is sure to bring OOOOOHHH's and AAAHHH's". 

A great dessert anytime, especially if you want folks begging for your recipe.
