peanut butter truffle brownies

Chocolate and peanut butter all wrapped up into one indulgent bar. Start with a no-fail brownie mix, then add layers of peanut butter and melted chocolate chips. This brownie is ultra rich, so a small piece goes a long way. 

INGREDIENTS:

Brownie Base

• 1 box brownie mix
• Water, vegetable oil and egg called for on brownie mix box

Filling

• 1/3 cup butter, softened
