A friend of mine gave me the recipe for these layered brownies, but I added my own touch--chunky peanut butter. Every time I take it to a group gathering, I get requests for the recipe. It's a real crowd-pleaser! -Judy Sims Weatherford, Texas *Test Kitchen Approved

Ingredients:
• 1-1/2 cups stick margarine or butter, 'divided' (Imperial or Blue Bonnet)
• 3/4 cup baking cocoa, divided
•
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup liquid egg substitute or 2 egg whites
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 jar (18 ounces) chunky peanut butter
• 1/3 cup 2% milk
• 10 large marshmallows
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup margarine; stir in 1/2 cup cocoa until smooth. Remove from the heat. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, egg substitute, sugar and vanilla until blended. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to egg mixture. Beat in cocoa mixture.

2. Transfer to a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 3-4 minutes on a wire rack.

3. Meanwhile, in a microwave, melt peanut butter, uncovered, at 50% power for 2 minutes, stirring once. Stir until peanut butter is blended. Spread peanut butter over warm brownies. Refrigerate for 45 minutes or until peanut butter is set.

4. In a heavy saucepan, combine the milk, remaining cocoa, marshmallows and remaining margarine. Cook and stir over medium heat until margarine and marshmallows are melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat.

Gradually stir in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Spread over peanut butter layer. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Cut into 48 squares.
