Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 9 -In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate, the peanut butter, and the sweetened condensed milk and microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until it is completely melted together and thick.

Step 10 -Pour the peanut butter fudge on top of the brownie batter in the baking pan and use a spatula to evenly spread it out.
