3 Meanwhile, in nonstick 2-quart saucepan, heat Topping ingredients over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Cool about 10 minutes or until lukewarm.
4 Pour topping over filling; spread to cover. Refrigerate uncovered about 2 hours or until set. Before cutting, let stand 20 minutes at room temperature. For brownies, cut into 9 rows by 4 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.
