How to make

STEP 1

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 8-inch square baking pan; set aside.

STEP 3

Spread brownie mixture into prepared pan. Bake 25-30 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. (Do not overbake.) Cool completely.
STEP 4

Combine all filling ingredients except nuts in bowl. Beat at medium-low speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth and creamy. Spread filling over cooled brownies; sprinkle with toasted nuts. Lightly press into filling.

Melt chocolate chips and shortening in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, 1-2 minutes or until smooth. Drizzle over filling and nuts. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour or until serving time.
