Chocolate-Peanut Butter Fudge Bars image

Peanut butter and chocolate, yum! I got this recipe from a 2005 isuue of Womans Day magazine and its presentation is nice enough for serving to guests or just treating yourself to a bit of indulgence. They're very rich, so don't let the small 9" pan size fool you ;)

Yield 36 bars, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (18 ounce) box brownie mix (Triple Chocolate Decadence)
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts, chopped
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup marshmallow cream (such as Marshmallow Fluff or Creme)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
6 ounces bittersweet baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon corn syrup

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350*. Line a 9-inch quare pan with foil, letting foil extend above pan on opposite sides and coat foil with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Prepare brownie mix as package directs for fudgy brownies. Stir in peanut butter chips and peanuts, spread evenly in prepared pan.
  • Bake 30 minutes, or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
  • Filling: Beat peanut butter, marshmallow cream and butter in a medium bowl with mixer on high speed until well blended. Reduce speed to low, add confectioners sugar and beat until blended. Spread evenly over brownie.
  • Glaze: Microwave chocolate and butter, stirring at 30-second intervals, until melted and smooth. Cool slightly; stir in corn syrup. Spread evenly over filling layer. Refrigerate 1 hour until filling is firm and glaze sets.
  • Lift foil by ends onto a cutting board. Cut in 6 rows lengthwise and 6 crosswise.
  • Refrigerate in a container with wax paper between layers up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 3 months.
