Candy Apple Dessert Squares


Candy Apple Dessert Squares
(I got this recipe in one of my former wards and the sister cited Pampered Chef as the original author):

1 pkg (19-21 oz/family size) Brownie mix (plus ingredients to make cake-like brownies)
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping, divided
1 firm red apple
1 granny smith apple
6 peanut butter cup candies (0.6 oz each)
1/4 cup peanuts, chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray pan with vegetable oil. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions for cake-like brownies. Bake 20-25 min or as directed. Remove from oven; cool completely. Whisk mixture of cream cheese and 1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping until smooth. Spread mixture evenly over brownie. Core and slice apples, leaving peels on. Cut apples into small pieces. Sprinkle evenly over cream cheese mixture. Coarsely chop peanut butter cup candies and peanuts. Sprinkle over apples; drizzle with remaining ice cream topping. Cut dessert into squares. Yields 24 squares.
