Easy Peanut Butter Brownies

Posted June 20th, 2011 by Suzi and filed in Recipes

What’s the point of having a warm brownie if you’re not going to put a little iced cream on top??

I had every intention of sharing my homemade pita chip recipe tonight but alas, when I went to get the pitas out – we only had one.  ONE! Honestly, who’s going to take the time to make a batch of pita chips out of one stinking pita.  After I had a little temper tantrum (I really wanted some salty chips) I settled myself on the idea of brownies.  Ah yes, brownies.  My old friend.  So while they are baking away in the oven I popped over to the computer to share another not-so healthy recipe with you (I swear, after this I’ll post some healthy recipes – just so we don’t all die of chocolate related seizures or something ;) ).

Enjoy!  Let me know if you try them, they are super fast to make and super yummy to eat.

P.S. Do you like the crunchier “side” pieces of brownies or the softer inside pieces?  I always like the soft inside pieces best but when that special brownie pan came out a few years ago that made each brownie have crunchy edges I decided I must be a part of the minority?  Please tell me there a few more “softies” out there!?

    I love the soft inside… when I make brownies for just matt and I I basically cut them so the edges are tiny little pieces and the middle are big pieces….also, matt likes the edges… hahaha More for me….and that is why I run… :-D .

    That brownie pan always puzzled me… how could someone not want to eat the inside… if there was a pan that made brownies not have crunchy edges I’d be all over that… but I don’t think it is possible.
