Instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease your 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix with the melted butter as per the package instructions. Mix until just combined.
  4. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for about 20-25 minutes.

  6. Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the top of the brownies.
  7. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.

Notes

  • Allow brownies to cool before adding the peanut butter layer.
  • Top with chopped peanuts for extra crunch.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
