Bake: 25 mins at 350°F
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups finely crushed graham crackers (about 18 graham crackers)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup finely chopped dry-roasted peanuts
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, cut up
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup peanut-butter-flavored pieces
- 1 recipe Peanut Butter Frosting (see recipe below)
- Peanut halves
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For crust, in a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, the 1/4 cup sugar, and the finely chopped peanuts. Stir in the 1/2 cup melted butter. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 11x7x1-1/2-inch baking pan. Bake for 5 minutes; cool.
2. For filling, in a heavy large saucepan, combine the 1/2 cup butter and the chocolate; heat and stir over low heat until melted. Remove from heat. Add the 1 cup sugar, the eggs, and vanilla to chocolate mixture; stir just until combined. Stir in flour and peanut-butter-flavored pieces. Spread evenly over crust.
3. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Spread with Peanut Butter Frosting. Cut into bars. Place a peanut half on each bar. Makes 20 brownies.

Tip:
Let these peanut-butter-and-chocolate bars cool completely before cutting. If you cut them while they are still warm, moisture will escape as steam and the brownies may be dry.

Make Ahead Tip:
Bake as directed; do not cut bars. Cover and chill for up to 2 days.
