Ingredient list

1 pkg. (18 to 22 oz.) fudge brownie mix (13x9-inch pan size)
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) brick cream cheese, softened
½ cup sugar
½ cup creamy peanut butter
2 eggs
8 NUTTER BUTTER Cookies (peanut shape), coarsely chopped
2 oz. (1/2 of 4-oz. pkg.) semi-sweet baking chocolate
2 Tbsp. sprinkles

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F.

Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides; spray with cooking spray. Prepare brownie batter as directed on package; pour into prepared pan.

Beat cream cheese, sugar and peanut butter in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended.

Drop large spoonfuls of cream cheese mixture over brownie batter; spread carefully to completely cover brownie batter with cream cheese mixture. Top with chopped cookies.

Bake 40 to 45 min. or until center is almost set. Cool completely.

Refrigerate 3 hours. Use foil handles to remove dessert from pan before cutting into bars.

Melt semi-sweet chocolate as directed on package; drizzle over bars. Top with sprinkles. Let stand until chocolate is firm.
