Brownie Bowl

1 box Brownie Mix (prepare chewy style brownies)
1 8-oz. package cream cheese (softened)
1 box Confectioner's Sugar (you don't have to use the entire box!)
1 8-oz. container Cool Whip
1 small box Chocolate Pudding (instant)

Bake brownies (8x8 dish) and let cool. Mix pudding mix and set aside. Beat cream cheese until smooth and add confectioner's sugar, one cup at a time; beat until smooth then fold in Cool Whip. Crumble cooled brownies, and layer in bowl - brownies, pudding, cream cheese mixture, alternating - ending with brownie crumbs on top. As a last step, if desired, drizzle hot fudge ice cream topping on top and DIG IN.......

Refrigerate until ready to serve.
