Peanut Butter Cookie Brownie
Its chocolate time again!! And it is combined with rich chunky Peanut butter!! Can it be any more sinful than this?
I am shutting my ears against all the nay-sayers, the health freaks, the salad people… it is OK to let go at times, to indulge oneself, to have that lip smacking dish you drool about. After all it is just this one life that you get ..so its chocolate and peanut butter time.
The brownie is the chewiest, the fudgiest. Then you layer the brownie batter with the peanut butter batter. When the cake is ready cut it and you can see golden nuggets of peanut butter peeking through rich, dark, dense chocolate. It is a match made in heaven.
One of my favorite cooking websites is ‘thelittlekitchen.com’. It has the most amazing recipes. So is this Peanut Butter Cookie Brownie recipe!! Enjoy !!
