1

Heat oven to 350ºF. Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray. Make brownie mix as directed on box, using water, oil and eggs and adding 1 teaspoon maple flavor. Spread batter in pan. Bake as directed on box. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, mix Maple Cream Frosting ingredients until well blended; refrigerate. Spread frosting over cooled brownies. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

Cut dessert into 4 rows by 3 rows. Sprinkle each serving with chopped candy bars; drizzle with syrup. Store covered in refrigerator.

Chocolate sundae syrup is slightly thicker than regular chocolate syrup, so it clings better to the top of the brownies. Look for it in your supermarket next to the other ice-cream toppings. If sundae syrup is unavailable, the regular variety will work just fine.
Another fun garnish for these maple-flavored squares are the little maple sugar candies shaped like maple leaves. Look for them in specialty candy shops.
