• Press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
• Refrigerate crust for 20-30 minutes.
• In another medium bowl, combine filling ingredients, and blend at low speed for 30 seconds, and then on medium high speed 2 minutes or until light and fluffy.
• Spread over crust.
• In a medium saucepan, melt chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. (You can also microwave the chips at 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth).
• Stir in peanut butter, blend well. (If using microwave method, you might want to microwave for 30 seconds to melt the peanut butter a bit after adding it to the chocolate).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Line an 8" x 8" baking pan with 2 pieces of parchment paper, leaving at least 3" of overhang.
• For the base, mix together flour, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
• Add melted butter and mix thoroughly until you have a soft dough. Break dough into small pebbles and spread evenly in bottom of lined baking pan, then gently press dough into pan in an even layer. Bake until it turns a shade darker, 15 minutes. Let base cool a bit.
• Meanwhile, make chocolate layer: Put chocolate in the top of a double boiler, or in a metal bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Add peanut butter and heat gently until melted, stirring occasionally.
• Pour 1/2 cup of warm melted chocolate mixture over the baked base, and spread it out evenly. Refrigerate until set. Reserve remaining chocolate mixture on top of the stove while you prepare maple fudge.
• Melt butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add sweetened condensed milk, maple syrup, brown sugar, and salt and bring to a simmer. Boil softly, stirring often, for 10 minutes. (Gauge doneness using the cold-water test: Fill a bowl with cold water and drop about 1/2 teaspoon of the mixture into it. If it forms a soft ball, it's ready.)
• Fill a sink with at least 6" cold water, and set saucepan in it (making sure not to slosh water into fudge). Stir constantly with a sharp-edged wooden spoon, scraping down sides of pot, until mixture starts to turn granular, about 5 minutes. When it starts to look like sand and becomes hard to stir, remove pan from water; add cream cheese. Stir, scraping sides, until mixture is smooth and light.
• Immediately spread maple fudge in an even layer over cooled chocolate layer.
• Scatter peanuts on top and press them lightly into maple filling. Gently heat remaining chocolate mixture to return it to a liquid state. Drop chocolate from the side of a rubber spatula onto maple layer. Swipe across peanuts to cover them completely.
• Return baking pan to refrigerator and chill until completely set, about 4 hours. Cut into small bars.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a bowl mix the brownie mix as directed. Add the peanut bitter chips in the batter. In another bowl mix the cookie mix as directed (omitting the egg). Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the batter.
• Spray an 13x9 baking pan with non-stick spray. Spread the brownie batter into the pan. Take the peanut butter batter and drop spoonfuls over the brownie batter. Take a butter knife and swirl the two batter together causing a marble affect.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes until a toothpick is inserted and comes out almost clean. Be careful not to over bake. It is better if it is just a tad bit under done. Let cool and cut into bars.
