1 brownie mix
1 symphony bar (we usually get the toffee ones)
about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of peanut butter (depending on how much you like)
Chopped nuts (optional)
Make the brownie batter as directed on the package. Pour about 1/2 of the batter into a 9x13 pan. Break the symphony bar into chunks and sprinkle evenly onto the batter layer. Then take spoonfuls of peanut butter and drop small bits of peanut butter onto the batter layer (bigger than a pea, smaller than a grape). Include as much as you'd like. (Side note: I've always wondered how to make this step less time-consuming...maybe soften some peanut butter in the microwave, put it in a ziploc, snip the corner, and squeeze it out over the batter layer? Or just stick with the 5 minutes of spooning little peanut butter balls onto the batter. Your choice.) Add chopped nuts if desired. Then pour the other half of the batter on top and bake as directed. Give away half of the brownies, eat a couple with your family while they're hot, and then hide the rest of them in the freezer so you can slowly and secretly enjoy them for many moons.
