Recipe(tried): Crunchy Fudge Brownies and Cookie Dough Brownies (using brownie mix) - These are both sturdy brownies and are easy to make

The people my DH works with regularly request these two brownies.

CRUNCHY FUDGE BROWNIES

21 oz Fudge Brownie Mix
Enough mini marshmallows to cover 13x9 pan
1 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1 Tablespoon margarine
2 cups Rice Krispies

Grease and flour a 13x9 pan. Prepare brownies per package directions. Bake 22 minutes at oven temperature called for on package. Remove from oven and immediately top with mini marshmallows. Bake an additional 3 minutes. Cool. Melt peanut butter, chocolate chips and margarine. Stir until smooth. Add 2 cups Rice Krispies. Spread while warm over marshmallow layer. Cool or chill and cut into squares.

COOKIE DOUGH BROWNIES

FOR THE BROWNIES:*
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
FOR THE CHOCOLATE CHIP TOPPING:
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
FOR THE CHOCOLATE GLAZE/DRIZZLE:
1 (6 ounces) pkg semisweet chocolate chips
1 tbsp shortening
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

TO MAKE THE BROWNIES:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.

In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, flour, cocoa and salt. Add oil, eggs and vanilla; beat at medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in walnuts, if desired. Pour into prepared baking pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until brownies test done. Cool completely.

TO MAKE THE FILLING:
Cream butter and sugars in a mixing bowl. Add milk and vanilla; mix well. Beat in flour. Spread the filling over the cooled brownies; refrigerate until firm.

TO MAKE THE GLAZE:
Melt chocolate chips and shortening in a saucepan, stirring until smooth. Spread over filling. If desired, immediately sprinkle with nuts, pressing down slightly.

Cut into bars. Refrigerate leftovers.

*For the brownies, I usually use 1 box Brownie Mix (13x9 pan size) and make them according to the Fudgy Brownie recipe not the cake-like one. I then top with the Chocolate Chip Topping and the Chocolate Glaze/Drizzle.
