Ingredients
Betty Crocker Original Supreme Brownie Mix
1 (22 1/2 ounce) box (Open the box and set aside.)
Water
1/3 cup (Measure and set aside.)
Vegetable Oil
1/4 cup (Measure and set aside.)
Eggs
2 (Crack and beat lightly.)
Butter, softened
1/2 cup (Allow to soften at room temperature.)
Creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 cup (Measure and set aside.)
Powdered Sugar

Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 cup (Measure and set aside.)
Butter
1/4 cup (Cut into pieces for melting.)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking pan with cooking spray or shortening. For cleaner cuts, line the pan with foil and grease the foil.
2
In a medium bowl, combine the brownie mix, chocolate syrup pouch, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
3
Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 28 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted about 2 inches from the side comes out almost clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour.
4
While the brownies are cooling, prepare the peanut butter truffle filling. In a separate medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the softened butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled brownie base.
5
Now, prepare the chocolate ganache topping. In a small microwavable bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. Microwave uncovered on high for 30 to 60 seconds, stirring until the mixture is melted and smooth. Let cool for about 10 minutes before spreading it evenly over the peanut butter layer.
6
Refrigerate the entire pan for about 30 minutes to set the chocolate topping. Once set, cut into 36 squares (9 rows by 4 rows). Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator.
