Ingredients:

1/2  cup  butter, softened

1/2  cup  creamy peanut butter

1  teaspoon  vanilla extract

1  (16-ounce) package dark brown sugar

2  large eggs

2  cups  all-purpose flour

1  (10-ounce) package swirled milk chocolate and peanut butter morsels

Steps:

Beat first 3 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add brown sugar, beating until well blended. Add eggs, beating until blended. Stir in flour and morsels.

Drop dough by level tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets.

Bake at 350° for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets 1 minute; remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Note: Parchment paper makes cleanup a snap. Flip it over after the first use, and bake on it again. Cookies may also be baked on lightly greased baking sheets.

Ingredients:

Package German Chocolate Cake Mix
1/2 container Carmel Fruit Dip (warm in microwave, so it’s pourable)
3/4 c. melted butter or margarine
1/3 c. evaporated milk, undiluted
1 c. chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips (optional)
1 c. chopped nuts (optional) Combine dry cake mix, butter, milk, and nuts.  Stir by hand until dough holds together.  Press one half of dough into a 9×13″ greased & floured pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for six minutes.  Remove from oven and let set a minute or two.    

Steps:Pour/spread on Carmel fruit dip, make sure it’s pretty soft, or if you try to spread it will tear up your brownies.  Sprinkle chocolate chips over Carmel.  Put remaining cake batter over the top of Carmel and chocolate chips.   

Tip: I find the best way to do this is to take an egg-sized ball of batter- it sets up really fast- in my hand and flatten it like I’m making a hamburger and place it on top of Carmel/chips.  Continue until you use all of the batter-there will be small spaces between batter.

Bake 15 to 18 minutes more.  It may appear that it is not thoroughly cooked, but once it cools, it will be soft and chewy.  Cut into small squares.
