How to Make Peanut Butter Fantasy Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) brownie mix, two large eggs, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 cup chopped peanuts, and 1 cup milk chocolate chips. Mix well until just combined.
  3. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 large egg. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  5. Spoon or pipe the peanut butter mixture evenly over the first layer of brownie batter. Swirl the two layers together gently with a knife or toothpick.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining milk chocolate chips over the top.
  7. Bake for 35 minutes. Then, turn off the oven and let the brownies sit in the oven for an additional 10 minutes with the door slightly ajar. This allows for even baking and prevents cracking.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting into squares.
  9. Refrigerate for up to 1 week for optimal freshness. Enjoy!
