How - I - Wish Bars

Okay so I'm not really sure what the "how i wish" is for but that is the name of the recipe..maybe "how i wish...these weren't so fattening!" Only make these if you have people coming over to share them with you...We're chocoholics but there is no way we could eat all of this. These are very gooey and ohhhh so yummy. I didn't see double fudge brownie mix but oh they had TRIPLE fudge so I bought that...it comes with a pouch of syrupy chocolate so I used that at the end to top off the brownies instead of the unsweetened chocolate.

How-I-Wish Bars

Ingredients

• 1 roll refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough
• 1 box double fudge brownie mix
• 1 cup peanut butter and milk chocolate chips
• 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
• 2 eggs
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3/4 cup peanut butter
• 1, 1 lb. box confectioner's sugar
• 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate

Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pat out cookie dough in a 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake for 5 minutes. Mix brownie mix according to instructions for fudge brownies and add peanut butter and chocolate morsels. Cream together cream cheese, eggs, butter, vanilla, and peanut butter. Add confectioner's sugar. Spread brownie mixture on top of cookie dough, spreading to edges. Spread cream cheese mixture on top of brownie mixture, covering completely. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. (Don't over bake. They are supposed to be slightly gooey.) Melt unsweetened chocolate and drizzle over top. Cool and cut into squares.

Notes: Instead of unsweetened chocolate on top, you could cut in squares and top with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge sauce.
