Peanut Butter Brownies ~ Combining two great loves into one affair for the perfect comfort dessert.

Peanut Butter Brownies

Before you ask yourself if I’m stuck in a rut of brownies and peanut butter recipes, let me preemptively tell you- No. Okay maybe. . .

I call it a run rather than a rut. Once I start something I have a tendency to play out every possibility, iteration and variation that comes to mind (think cheesecakes, I’m sure you will see my point. In the short five months I’ve started this blog I’ve already posted seven cheesecake recipes).
