PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIES

Guess what today’s recipe is? Did you say another peanut butter and chocolate combo?

Because you’d be right.

It’s pretty much the only flavor combo I want lately. I’m trying to stagger the posts out at least, so you don’t get overloaded.

Work is cray and it’s sucking out all my energy so I’ve got to post and run today. But these brownies are really simple. No excuses for making boxed brownies! Try them.
