• Remove pan from oven. Immediately sprinkle marshmallows evenly over warm base Return to oven; bake an additional 1-2 minutes or until marshmallows just begin to puff. Cool while preparing topping.
• In a large saucepan, combine brown sugar and corn syrup; blend well. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil, stirring constantly. remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter until well blended.

PAYDAY BROWNIES WITH CANDY CORN AND PEANUTS

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees (F). Grease the bottom of a 9x9 pan, and then layer it with one sheet of parchment paper, with some of the paper hanging out over the edges (this will make it easy to just lift the brownies out of the pan, after they've baked). Break up the chocolate into large chunks and put it in a medium microwave-safe bowl with the butter. Microwave it on high for 90 seconds, then stir until all the chocolate chunks are melted, all the butter is incorporated, and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the sugar, until it's combined, and then add the salt and vanilla. Then add the flour and stir until it's all incorporated and there are no lumps. Pour 1/3 of the batter into the pan, and spread it out to completely cover the bottom of the pan. Arrange the PayDay candy bars on top of the layer of batter. I did five rows of three to ensure every piece would have a hunk of the candy in it. Cover the PayDays with the rest of the batter, making sure they're all completely covered and the batter is distributed evenly over the top. Sprinkle the candy corns over the top. Use a little or use a lot-you're choice. I used a small handful. If you're really, really against candy corns (or if it's not Halloween anymore), you could omit them completely. Then sprinkle the peanuts on top of that. I used a full cup, I like a lot of peanuts. Bake it for about 28 minutes, until the brownie is set, even in the center. But don't overbake, or the edges will get really hard. (If that does happen, though, ice cream will soften them up! Just serve 'em warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and no one will ever know.)

CANDY CORN BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil, letting foil extend above pan on 2 sides Coat foil with nonstick spray or use nonstick foil.
• Whisk butter and sugar in a medium bowl until blended. Whisk in eggs, one t a time. Stir in 1-1/2 cups flour and the baking powder until just combined.
• Remove 1 cup batter, add to chocolate and stir until blended. Spread evenly in lined pan. Refrigerate 15 minutes or until slightly firm.
• Meanwhile, stir orange extract and 1/4 cup flour into remaining batter, tint yellow. Divide batter in half. Tint half orange using a little red food color.
• Spoon yellow batter onto chocolate layer; gently spread even. Refrigerate 30 minutes, until slightly firm to the touch.
• Spoon on orange batter; spread even. Bake 40-45 minutes until a wooden pcik inserted in center comes out clean. Cool pan on wire rack 10 minutes; then invert on rack to cool completely; remove foil. Cut in 25 squares.
• To make spiderwebs: Melt candy melts as package directs. Scrape into a sturdy 1-quart ziptop bag. Cut tip off one corner and pipe a quarter of a spiderweb on each brownie. The web will have 4 spokes, two of which follow 2 sides of the brownie and meet in the corner. The other two are spaced inbetween. There will be room for a couple of rows of web lines connecting the 4 spokes.
