Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18.4 ounces) chocolate fudge brownie mix
Eggs, oil and water, required for the brownie mix
2 cups graham cracker crumbs, about 15-16 graham crackers
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups milk chocolate chips
5 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9 x 13 pan with parchment paper or foil and set aside. Prepare the brownies and bake according to package directions. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Pulse or blend in a food processor or blender the graham crackers. Pour into a bowl and add in the peanut butter, butter (completely melted), powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated. Press the mixture evenly over the brownies. In another bowl add the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in bursts of 15 seconds, stirring in between each burst for 10-15 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pour and spread the mixture over the peanut butter layer until it is even. Allow the bars to sit until firm (place in the fridge covered.) Once the chocolate is firm, use an extremely sharp knife to cut into squares. Enjoy!
