  • ½ c. creamy peanut butter
  • 2 c. brown sugar
  • 4 eggs

Instructions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the melted chocolate chips, melted butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  3. Slowly add in the flour, mixing until smooth. Remove the bowl from the mixer, and gently fold in the chopped Butterfinger pieces with a spatula until combined.
  4. Pour the batter into a lightly greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Bake the brownie batter for 30–45 minutes or until firm. Let the brownies rest for 30 minutes before slicing and serving them. For extra decadence, top with additional chopped Butterfingers.

Tip: This recipe is for homemade brownies. If you are short on time, you can use a boxed brownie mix instead—just fold in the chopped Butterfinger bars before baking.
