Ingredients

Procedure

2. Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare Chocolate Fudge Brownies. Cream butter with eggs and water first before adding the brownie mix. Stir until well-blended.

3. Spread brownie batter on an 9” x 9” brownie pan lined with baking paper (or grease lightly).

4. Spoon half of the Peanut Glaze over the brownie mix, distributing evenly. Next, take a knife and run it through the glaze, creating a marble effect. Leave some of the glaze to serve on the side.

5. Finally, distribute Choc-Nut candy halves on top, allotting 1/2 per brownie square. Sprinkle crumbled pieces on top.

6. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool before cutting into squares. Serve Choc-Nut Fudge Brownies with extra Peanut Glaze.
