Tag-a-Long Peanut Butter Stuffed Brownies

I usually make brownies from scratch, but after a long week on a Friday night I decided to cheat and use a box mix with a few upgrades.  These brownies have a layer of Girl Scout Tag A Long cookies in the middle and are topped with peanut butter chips. 

Ingredients:

1 package brownie mix (I used Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge mix)

2 eggs

½ cup unsweetened apple sauce

¼ cup water

12 Girl Scout Tag A Long cookies (I used the other half of this mix for Thin Mint Brownies, double this if using 1 9×13 dish)

¼ cup peanut butter chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray 2 8×8 or 1 9×13 dish with baking spray. 
2. Add brownie mix, eggs, water, and applesauce to a large bowl.  Mix to combine.
3. Pour a layer of brownie mix in the bottom of the pan.
4. Gently press Tag A Long cookies into the brownie mix.
5. Top with the remaining brownie mix. 
6. Sprinkle with peanut butter chips.
7. Bake according to package directions 25-35 minutes until the edges start to firm.
8. Enjoy!
9. I cut these into 12 brownies and cooled them in the fridge.
