1: Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
2: Line and grease a 20cm square loose bottomed tin with non-stick parchment paper.
3: Place 9 bourbon biscuits in the tin and warm in the oven for about a minute to make separating easier.
4: Remove the tray from the oven and separate the biscuits, placing them 'bourbon' side down in the tin.
5: In a saucepan, combine butter, sugar, and syrup over medium heat, stirring until melted and dissolved.
6: Remove from heat and add chocolate, allowing it to melt for a few minutes.
7: Stir the mixture until smooth and slightly cooled, then beat in vanilla extract and eggs until glossy.
8: Gently fold in the flour until just combined.
9: Fold in broken pieces of extra bourbon biscuits, peanuts, and frozen peanut butter.
10: Transfer the mixture into the lined tin, covering all biscuits and leveling it off.
11: Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until risen and firm to touch, but sticky in the center.
12: Leave to cool completely in the tray before cutting into bricks.
