Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line 9-inch square pan with foil; spray foil with cooking spray. Make brownies as directed on box, using water, oil and eggs. Pour batter into pan.
• Bake 34 to 37 minutes or until almost set in center. Immediately sprinkle brownies with marshmallows, peanut butter chips, peanuts and cookies. Bake 2 to 3 minutes longer or until marshmallows puff.
• In small microwavable bowl, mix frosting and peanut butter. Microwave uncovered on High 30 seconds or until pourable. Drizzle over brownies. Cool completely on cooling rack. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon or spatula, smash and mix butter and both sugars together until smooth and creamy. Add peanut butter and stir until incorporated. Add egg and vanilla, and stir until well combined. Add flour all at once and fold gently until dry bits disappear, then fold in the peanut butter chips and peanuts, if using, until evenly dispersed.
• Using a small cookie scoop or a measuring tablespoon, drop rounds of dough on a prepared sheet, spacing 1½ inches apart. Bake until just dry on top and set along the edges, 10 to 11 minutes. Do not overbake. Scoop and drop dough onto the second sheet while the first bakes, then slide into the oven when the first comes out.
• Place the baking sheets on racks to cool completely. The cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
