Peanut Butter Brownie Dream

A chocolatey chewy brownie base gets topped with a fluffy peanut butter layer, then drizzled with chocolate syrup right before serving to create this Peanut Butter Brownie Dream!
Prep Time11 minutes
Total Time1 hour 10 minutes
Course: Dessert

Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix (prepared according to package directions in an 8x8 or 9x9 square pan) I used Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate Brownie Mix because they are the best boxed brownies, ever!!
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 8 oz package cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz Cool Whip thawed
  • chocolate syrup for garnish

Instructions

  • Line a square baking dish with foil hanging over the edges to create handles. This will make it easier to lift the dessert out of the pan when it is done. Spray the foil with cooking spray.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely.
  • With your mixer, whip an 8 ounce package of softened cream cheese until it is light and fluffy. Add in peanut butter and mix for a minute to combine. Slowly add in the powdered sugar. At this point, the mixture will be very thick.
  • Add in Cool Whip and mix until the filling is light and fluffy.
  • Spread the filling over the brownie layer and place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
  • Right before serving, cut the dessert into small pieces, drizzle with chocolate syrup, and serve.
  • Store leftovers covered tightly in the refrigerator.
