Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

rI have enjoyed baking more over the past year and have just gotten over my fear of messing it up!  I recently played around with two of my favorite things, Peanut Butter Cups and Brownies:)  If you want to recreate my delicious dessert you will need the following:
First make the brownies according to directions on box.  I again turned to my good friend Betty.
While these are cooking you can start on the next two layers.  For the Peanut Butter layer place peanut butter, butter, and salt in a bowl and heat in the microwave for a total of 1 minute, stirring ever 20 seconds.

Then stir in vanilla and powdered sugar until it has the consistency of dough...add more sugar if needed.

When the brownies are done and cooled a little, spread this mixture on top.  Place in the fridge to cool while you make the 3rd layer.
For the final layer melt the chocolate and shortening in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.  Stir often and make sure all the chocolate has melted.
Then spread the melted chocolate on top of the brownie and peanut butter mixture.  Put in fridge until the chocolate has set and hardened.  Now enjoy!!!
