Ingredients

Brownies

1 box brownie mix (for a 9x9 pan or make your own.)

Peanut Butter Layer

1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup Butterfinger Bits

Chocolate Ganache Topping

5 ounces milk chocolate chips (1/2 bag)
3 Tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup Butterfinger Bits

Instructions

Line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper, or spray the pan with cooking spray, or butter and flour the pan.
Prepare the brownies according to the package directions for a 9x9 pan. When the brownies have finished baking, remove them from the oven and place on a baking rack to cool completely.
While the brownies are baking, make the peanut butter filling. In a mixing bowl, combined melted butter, peanut butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Beat until combined. Stir in the Butterfinger bits. Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the brownies.
To make the ganache, in a small microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Repeat until chocolate chips are melted and chocolate ganache is smooth.
Pour the chocolate ganache over peanut butter layer and spread until evenly distributed.
Sprinkle Butterfinger Bits evenly over the top of the ganache.
Refrigerate brownies for 3 hours (or more). Cut into bars.
Serve and enjoy!!
