Instructions
*Preheat oven to 350F (177C) and lightly grease/spray a 9x9 pan (or line with parchment paper).
*In a large, microwave-safe bowl, heat butter in microwave until melted.

*Add eggs and egg yolk, stirring until well-combined..
*In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.

Peanut Butter Fudge
*Combine peanut butter and butter in large heat proof bowl and microwave at 15-second increments (stirring between each) until butter is completely melted.
*Stir in vanilla extract.
*Gradually add/stir in powdered sugar.
*Add milk and stir well. Mixture should be fudgy enough that you can mold pieces into a ball, but not too stiff that you won't be able to spread it over the brownies.
*Drop peanut butter mixture by heaping spoonfuls over the cooled brownies and use a knife to gently spread until the brownies are evenly covered with a thick layer of fudge.
*Prepare chocolate fudge frosting by combining chocolate chips and remaining butter in a medium heat-proof bowl and microwaving at 15-second increments (stirring between) until completely melted.
*Evenly pour chocolate over fudge, spread with a knife.
*Allow chocolate to set before slicing and serving (30-60 minutes).
