I have eaten insane amounts of peanut butter brownies for the past two weeks trying to perfect this recipe for y’all. You’re welcome. This food blogging gig is hard work I tell ya! Good thing I love me some peanut butter.
I’m happy to report…I nailed it!
This peanut butter brownie recipe is going to become your newest addiction. It’s all things a peanut butter treat should be and rarely are – moist, dense, and totally decadent. I made these brownies with and without frosting, in an 8×8 Â and in a 9×13, with and without peanut butter and chocolate chips. This is my favorite combination by far.
The other batches were awesome, but not magical. I require magical these days.
I made a “brownie purist” version with absolutely no chips of any kind inside. It was good and totally an option for those of you who are like, “Oh HECK NO you’re not putting anything inside my brownie!” Do what you feel is right. I will not mess with anyone’s brownie needs for sure. I understand it is serious business.
Even after eating my fair share of peanut butter brownies, I coudn’t seem to to wrest myself away from the allure of this batch. Wicked good I tell you  – wicked good.
Come get ya some.

These look awesome Trish!!! I agree this food blogging stuff is hard work, but so worth it. 😉 I wish I could jump through the screen and grab a few right now. 😉
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Hehe! I wish you could too Cyndi 🙂 Thanks girl!
Amber @ The Bewitched Baker says
Mmm, I’d say for the perfect peanut butter brownies, eating a little extra peanut butter is a worthy sacrifice, and we thank you for it. 🙂 These look positively scrumptious.

Jessica @ A Kitchen Addiction says
I can’t resist peanut butter desserts! A pan of these brownies would be devoured in no time!
Jocelyn @BruCrew Life says
“I require magical these days.” Hahahaha! That is totally how I feel about dessert now days! If a dessert doesn’t wow me immediately, it’s back to the drawing board! Now these brownies with all the peanut butter and chip love would have me inhaling the whole pan as fast as I could!!
Tavette says
Now don’t complain. You know we ALL would have volunteered as “taste testers” for whatever you make! It’s 11 p.m. and you’ve got me craving some of these. Thanks for torturing yourself (ha) by making this recipe over and over til you got it just right.
QUESTION: The recipe didn’t mention this, but I’m gonna guess you reserved and then sprinkled a few extra chips on top so they’d stay on top – yes?
Amy @ Amy's Healthy Baking says
I normally fall on the brownie purist side of the spectrum, but… Not when it comes to chocolate or PB chips. Those are totally okay. (Just no nuts. Ever. Period.) I know I’d devour these in a heartbeat!
Barb @ FL Mom's Blog says
Trish,
Hi! Those look delicious! I know that my husband and son both would love those!
Amy @Very Culinary says

Mir says
I take my PB treats VERY seriously, too, Trish! So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this one as perfect as possible. When you use the word “magical,” I have to try them! With or without PB cups as a mix-in!
Kathleen says
These sound fabulous! You’re the BEST for perfecting the recipe for everyone 😉
