By now, you would have realised how much I love peanut butter and chocolate. So it was only a matter of time before I made peanut butter brownies. Fudgy chocolatey brownies with hints of nutty peanut and soft chunks of chocolate chips throughout with a peanut butter chocolate topping with crunchy roasted peanuts.
There’s just something amazing when you combine peanut butter and chocolate. The two complement each other so perfectly. What makes this recipe even better it’s so quick to prepare and bake. Which means you can have peanut butter brownies pretty much anytime. Adding the peanut butter not only gives an extra kick of flavour but makes the texture even extra soft and moist.
These peanut butter brownies are an utterly delicious dessert and sweet treat. They’re super quick to make so you can always have some ready for a quick delicious treat.
