In a large bowl, mix cake mix, butter and egg.
Press brownie dough into the bottom of the pan in an even layer.
Place in oven for 15 minutes.
While the brownie layer is cooling, beat cream cheese and sugar together and add 1/4 cup milk.
Fold in one container of Cool Whip and the crushed candy canes.
Spread evenly over the cooled brownie layer and place in refrigerator.
In a large bowl, whisk the milk and the pudding mixes together and add green gel color until happy with the shade.
Pour the pudding over the cream cheese layer and place back into the refrigerator to set up at least 4 hours.
When ready to serve, top with the 2nd container of Cool Whip and top with sprinkles. Serve immediately.

Be sure to chill the dessert for at least 4 hours before serving. This allows the layers to set up and get nice and chilled.
You can also make this ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before you plan on serving it.
If you want more of a peppermint flavor, feel free to add in extra candy canes.
For more peppermint flavor you can add a few drops of peppermint extract to your cream cheese mixture.
If you want to change up the usual vanilla flavor, white chocolate pudding can also be used instead of vanilla pudding.
If you need to cool this dessert quickly you can store it in the freezer for about an hour and a half instead of the fridge.
Be sure to spray your baking pan well with nonstick cooking spray or grease it with butter or shortening so that your dessert removes easily from the pan.
