Bake for 10 minutes until firm.
Immediately press chcolates on the top of the cookies.
Bake cookies for 1 minute to slightly melt the chocolates.

I make most brownies by scratch, but sometimes I use a mix. This mix was meant for an 8×8 dish. If you are using a base brownie mix for 9×13 then double the ingredients for the add ins.
Base brownie additions-
½ cup Reeses peanut butter chips
½ cup chopped Butterfingers
Peanut Butter Buttercream Frosting
½ cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup butter at room temperature
1-2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-4 tablespoons milk (I used almond milk)
Chocolate glaze-
3 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1-2 tablespoons brewed coffee or milk
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
Topping-
½ cup crushed Butterfingers
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray/butter an 8×8 dish.
Prepare base brownie mix according to package directions. Add ½ cup Reeses peanut butter chips and ½ cup chopped Butterfinger pieces.
Spread in pan in an even layer. Bake 20-22 minutes until brownies are set in the middle but not too firm.
Begin to cool on wire rack.
Meanwhile prepare peanut butter buttercream.
Mix butter and peanut butter in a stand mixer. Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Continue to mix until you reach a spreadable consistency.
Spread over slightly warm brownies. Swirl in to the brownies.
Let cool completely.
Prepare chocolate glaze. Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl. Pour over the brownies.
Sprinkle with crushed Butterfingers.
I recommend cooling/storing these brownies in the refrigerator to help them firm and set before serving.
Enjoy!
