Peanut Butter Brownie Recipe

Easy recipes are the key to my dessert success, I openly admit that I’m not the most amazing cook but I’ll tell you when I nail it, I nail it! This Peanut Butter Brownie recipe is ridiculously simple and sure to impress anyone you share it with. This past weekend was Thanksgiving here in Canada and my sister generously offered to host 22 of us in her home. I offered to bring a dessert and had planned to make my Cheesecake Cups when my nephew asked for brownies.

Well I’m not one to back down from a challenge so I did what any good net-savvy woman would do and turned to Pinterest. Once again I was drawn to images of Peanut Butter Brownies and so here I am offering you what I ended up developing after trying a few batches (much to the delight of my neighbourhood children samplers).
