Press 6 of the chocolate sandwich cookies on top of the batter in the next section. Roll the reserved cookie dough into balls and arrange on top of each chocolate sandwich cookie and in the large diamond-shaped gaps between the cookies (do not place the balls too close to the edges of the section, or they may spread into the other sections).

• Meanwhile, prepare the toppings: Microwave the remaining 1 tablespoon peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl until smooth and pourable, about 15 seconds. Crush the remaining 2 chocolate sandwich cookies. Transfer the frosting to a pastry bag.
• Drizzle the warm peanut butter over the swirled peanut-butter brownie section and top with the crushed peanuts. Sprinkle the remaining crushed chocolate sandwich cookies over the section containing the whole cookies. Swirl the frosting over the candy-coated chocolate candy section and top with the rainbow sprinkles. Top the graham cracker bears with the mini marshmallows and toast with a small kitchen torch (or broil the marshmallows under a low broiler for about 1 minute).
