Rosie's Friday Baking Continues.

This is what happens when you don't pay attention to your recipe. Whenever I try a new recipe, I always read it through first. Really, I read this one through. I just didn't pay attention.
What I was doing was starting on the caramel layer for the previous recipe. And instead of just bringing to a boil the butter and sugar, I mistakenly added the chocolate chips.
Well, I'm certainly not going to throw out perfectly good butter, sugar, and chips.
So, I went ahead and melted everything, while the little hamster on the wheel in my head is just running as fast as he can.
OK, I had some stale marshmallows, so I added 2 cups to the hot mixture.
Stir until melted.
Action shot.
More ingredients to fix my little mess: 2 eggs 1/2 cup sugar 2 cups flour
I beat the eggs, then slowly added the sugar.
The chocolate mixture got added to the eggs and sugar.
Then I decided to mix 1/4 cup peanut butter with 1/4 cup sugar.
And I added the peanut butter mixture to the chocolate.
The flour went in next.
I thought the batter might be a little dense, so I beat in two more eggs.
I poured the batter into a greased 9 x 13 pan.
And baked it in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes.
Finally, I sprinkled semi-sweet chocolate chips and brickle bits over top.
The verdict? They were good. Dense chocolate, almost fudginess. With a hint of peanut butter.
