Recipe Description
Last Friday, I knew that I had a major sweet craving coming on. I had to decide….”do I say no and watch calories” or “do I change into my yoga pants and indulge in a dessert”? Well, based on the fact that this recipe is up, you know what I chose! I knew I wanted something with chocolate, but the peanut butter addition didn’t come into play until right before these were ready for the oven. I whipped up my favorite homemade brownie and had it ready to go. Just as I was putting these into the oven, I began to rack my brain for ways to change it up and make it even more exciting. That’s when I thought of peanut butter. My fav combo ever! I put some in the microwave so I could drizzle it on top of the brownies. Then, using a knife, I marbled it throughout. Perfection!! It was ready for the oven!
After these were done baking, my hubby and I added a scoop of ice-cream (don’t judge…..I figured if I am having dessert, I needed to go all out, hehe), and these were amazing! Moist, fudge like brownies with peanut butter swirled throughout. It was the perfect dessert to end our work week with!
