Fudge Topped Brownies are the ultimate chocolate dessert. If you love brownies and you love fudge, Fudge Topped Brownies are double the deliciousness!
On the bottom there’s a fudgy layer of brownie with a deep chocolate flavor and some walnuts. On top there’s a sky high layer of rich, chocolate fudge with more walnuts. You need a serious sweet tooth to eat these over the top brownies!
I made these Fudge Topped Brownies recently for a bake sale my daughter was helping with for a club she participates in at the College of Charleston. It wasn’t your typical bake sale and these aren’t your typical bake sale brownies. It took place from 10pm to 2am on King St in Charleston. They sold out of everything they had and they had a ton of goodies. People must have had the munchies!
This recipe is great for a bake sale because it makes a huge batch and can be cut into a gazillion pieces. It’s thick and oh so rich and one of the best desserts ever!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! It was my first time making fudge and I was nervous, but they came out beautifully, and look just like the photo! I cut the recipe in half and it still turned out perfectly. Thanks a lot!
I use a 14×17 inch pan & make this every year! Absolutely delicious!
Seriously? No… Can’t be for real. I make these every Christmas… One time a year, and I am a grown adult, I think I’m capable of controlling myself. IF I choose to. They are delicious and go amazingly with hot chocolate!! More sugar tho, so watch out! 😉
If made as described, that recipe has 8 -1/2 cups of sugar in it, plus marshmallow cream (=more sugar) and chocolate chips (=more sugar). Even if you cut this into small pieces and many of them, you are still getting a lot of sugar. We all need to think very carefully before eating things like this and that can be challenging because they are very appealing. Think, people!
Thank you for this recipe i will teaste it this weekend
