Ingredients

• 1  (16-oz.) package peanut-shaped peanut butter sandwich cookies, crushed
• 1/2  cup  butter, melted
• 1  (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2  cup  creamy peanut butter
• 1  tablespoon  vanilla extract
• 5  (1.5-oz.) packages chocolate-covered peanut butter cup candies, coarsely chopped
• 2  (2.1-oz.) chocolate-covered crispy peanut buttery candy bars, coarsely chopped (we tested with Butterfinger)
• 1  cup  semisweet chocolate morsels
• 1/2  cup  honey-roasted peanuts
• 1/2  cup  sweetened flaked coconut

Preparation

Combine crushed cookies and butter in a medium bowl. Press crumb mixture into bottom of a greased aluminum foil-lined 13" x 9" pan, allowing foil to extend over ends of pan. Bake at 350° for 6 to 8 minutes.

Combine condensed milk, peanut butter, and vanilla in a medium bowl, stirring until smooth.

Sprinkle chopped candy bars, chocolate morsels, peanuts, and coconut over crust. Drizzle condensed milk mixture over coconut.

Bake at 350° for 27 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack, and let cool in pan. Use foil to lift uncut brownies out of pan. Peel foil away from sides of uncut brownies, and cut into bars.
