Brownies + Pudding + Cool Whip = a party in a little plastic cup. Dubbed Brownie Extravaganza way back in my elementary school days, this brownie parfait recipe is super simple and quick to make and totally lives up to its name. The white chocolate pudding and Cool Whip filling is an unusual combo, but once you start eating I guarantee you won’t be able to stop. You can indulge immediately after it’s prepared or let it chill in the fridge for up to three days. Feel free to make your own brownies or use store bought ones (no judgment, we’re all busy!) You can also substitute any candy you like for the Skor bar.

3. Roughly chop the Skor bar. (If you don’t have a sharp knife, put the unwrapped candy in a small plastic bag, lay it on a hard surface and use a spoon to crush the candy into smaller pieces.)
4. Place a brownie in the bottom of each cup, top with a heaping spoonful of the pudding mixture and sprinkle with some skor bar. Layer brownie, pudding and candy until the cups are full.
