Dad's Remote Control Brownies

3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 2/3 cups (10-ounce package) REESE'S Peanut Butter Chips - divided use
1 teaspoon vegetable shortening (do not use butter, margarine, spread or oil)
Red, blue, or orange-colored tubes of decorating gel (optional)

1. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan with heavy duty foil; grease bottom and sides of foil.
2. Beat butter, sugar, corn syrup and vanilla in large bowl until fluffy. Add eggs; beat until blended.
3. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually blend into butter mixture. Stir in 1 cup peanut butter chips; reserve remainder for glaze. Spread into prepared pan.
4. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until brownies just begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
