Triple Layer Fudge Bownies-The name says it all for a chocolate lover’s delight. A nutty chocolate topping and peanut crisp surround a gooey fudge center make these decadent brownies a hit!  Brownies are a special treat in our house and are always a quick and easy dessert to make. When on sale at the grocery store, I always buy a few extra boxes to have on hand for a quick chocolate fix or if company stops by. I made these last night and they were so yummy!
