Prepare the brownie batter according to package directions (do not bake). Spread the batter in pan and set aside. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with a stand or hand-held mixer using the whisk attachment until free of lumps. Add condensed milk and peanut butter and beat until smooth. Stir in the Reese’s Pieces candies. Carefully spoon the mixture over the batter and spread evenly.

Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the cheesecake layer is set and golden brown. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
