How to Make Peanut Butter Truffle Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray or shortening.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine brownie mix (1 box), 1 cup chocolate syrup, ½ cup water, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs. Mix until well blended.
  3. Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  4. Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out with almost no wet batter.
  5. Let the brownies cool completely, about 1 hour.
  6. While brownies cool, prepare the peanut butter truffle filling: In a medium bowl, beat together 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ½ cup powdered sugar, ¼ cup unsalted butter (softened), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  7. Spread the peanut butter truffle filling evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
  8. Prepare the chocolate topping: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth.
  9. Let the chocolate topping cool for 10 minutes to slightly thicken.
  10. Spread the chocolate topping evenly over the peanut butter truffle filling.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the topping is set.
  12. Cut the brownies into 36 squares (9 rows by 4 rows).
  13. Store covered in the refrigerator.
