2
Pour into a greased 13 x 9" baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 - 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs (do not over bake). Cool on a wire rack.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese & 1/2 C milk until smooth. Add pudding mix & remaining milk; beat for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in extract; fold in whipped topping. Spread over cooled brownies. Refrigerate until set.
