Using a paring knife, cut into brownies swirling in a decorative marbled pattern. Sprinkle remaining PB cups on top. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until cream cheese is very lightly browned and knife comes out clean. Cool and drizzle with Chocolate Ganache Icing, below. Cut into squares.

White Chocolate Frosting:
1/3 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup gourmet white chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars
1 tbsp lemon juice

Chocolate Ganache Frosting:
1/2 cup heavy cream
