Make the peanut butter filling by mixing the following until smooth.

1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup butter or margarine (room temperature)
1 1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons milk

Spread this peanut butter filling over the brownies.

3) Chocolate Top Layer

1 1/4 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Melt together in a microwave safe bowl at 50% power for 30 seconds.  Stir & repeat until smooth.  Spread on top of the peanut butter filling.

4)  Cool in refrigerator for 1 hour.
