Ingredients

1

box Betty Crocker™ chocolate chunk Premium brownie mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs as called for on brownie mix box
1

teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2

to 3/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
2

cups powdered sugar
1/4

cup dulce de leche (from 13.4 oz can)
2

tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
2

tablespoons milk
1

teaspoon vanilla

Steps

1

Heat oven to 350° F (325° F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease or spray bottom of 8-inch pan.
2

Make brownie batter as directed on box, using water, oil, and eggs, adding cinnamon and chipotle powder until well blended. Spread into pan. Bake 39 to 42 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from edge comes out almost clean. Cool completely.
3

In medium bowl, beat powdered sugar, dulce de leche, butter, milk, and vanilla with electric mixer on low speed until smooth and creamy. Spread onto cooled brownies.

Look for cans of dulce de leche next to sweetened condensed milk in your grocery store. Dulce de leche is similar to sweetened condensed milk, but it has been caramelized and is much thicker.
Dulce [DOOL-say] is Spanish for and generally refers to an intensely sweet confection made with sugar and cream. Leche [LAY-chay] is the Spanish word for “milk.”
