1 box (18.2 ounces) brownie mix

1/2 cup chopped dry-roasted peanuts

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup confectioner's sugar

Recipe





1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Line pan with foil, allowing sides to overhang; spray foil.
In small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar.
Mix in melted butter.
Press crumb mixture into prepared pan. Bake until golden, about 5 to 7 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

2. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions for cakelike brownies (adding 1/4 cup water, 1/3 cup oil and 3 eggs).
Fold in chopped nuts.
Pour batter into crust-lined pan.
Return to 350°F oven; bake until brownie is just set and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.

3. With electric mixer in medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
Add peanut butter and confectioners' sugar; beat until just blended (it will look lumpy).
Add milk; beat lightly to loosen mixture.
In separate bowl, whip 1 cup of the cream and gently fold into peanut butter mixture.
Spread mousse evenly over cooled brownie. Refrigerate 1 hour.

4. Heat remaining 1/2 cup cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until just boiling.
Remove from heat; add corn syrup and chocolate chips.
Cover and let stand 5 minutes. Stir until smooth.
Pour glaze over chilled mousse and spread to cover completely.
Return to refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

5. Run a small knife around inside of pan and lift out brownie. Heat knife under hot running water and trim edges.
Slice brownie, rinsing knife after each cut, into 5 strips about 1-1/2 inches wide.
Cut each strip into 5 pieces about 1-1/2 inches square. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with whipped cream, nuts, candy and caramel sauce.
