Base

1: (15.5-oz.) pkg. thick 'n fudgy chocolate chunk deluxe brownie mix

1/4: cup oil

3: tablespoons water

1: egg

Filling

1 1/2: cups creamy peanut butter

1 1/2: cups powdered sugar

Bake at 350°F. for 17 to 22 minutes or until edges are set. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cool 45 minutes or until completely cooled. Freeze brownie base for 20 minutes so filling is easier to spread.
