Quick and Easy Peanut Butter Brownies

Two peanuts were walking down the road...
Then, one was assaulted.


Mmmmm.....brownies.....mmmMmmm crunchy peanut butter...

My buddy needed to make brownies for a competition at work, so she came over and we tried a couple of different recipes.  We used box mixes and then added different stuff (like caramel and peanut butter) to them.  The peanut butter ones were by far the best.

Today, I thought I would try a made from scratch version.  If you are feelin' extra lazy, just get a brownie fudge box mix and do the last peanut butter steps shown here.

Here's What You Need:
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla
3/4 cup of sugar
1 stick or 1/2 cup of butter, melted
2/3 cup of all purpose flour
3/4 cup of ground cocoa
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
1/3 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter, melted

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.  Crack eggs and beat by hand.


Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla.

Add 3/4 cup of sugar and mix.  Mix'um Mix'un Mix'um.


Take out a stick of butter and melt in the microwave for about 40 seconds.  Let cool while you get together the dry ingredients.


To a separate bowl, add 2/3 cup of all purpose flour.

Add 3/4 cup of ground cocoa.

And 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder.

Fork or whisk everything together.

Add butter and dry ingredients to egg-sugar-vanilla mixture.

Mix everything together well.

Add 1/3 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and mix.


Pour into a greased pan.

Take 2 tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter and microwave for 30 seconds to melt.


Top drops of melted peanut butter on brownies.

Using a toothpick swirl the top to make it look all purdy and stuff.  Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.


Let cool and enjoy.
