Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies

Luckily it is time for another month of Two Sweetie Pies! Another month of 2 Sweetie Pies with That Skinny Chick Can Bake means another wonderful dessert! Always a success when you bake from Liz’s blog! Each month we bake up a recipe from each other and keep it a secret until reveal day! Super fun! Make sure you pop over to visit Liz and see which Hugs & Cookies recipe she chose this month.

This month I went with Liz’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies because who can resist the combo of peanut butter and chocolate! These decadent brownies did not disappoint! They are very rich so you can cut them on the smaller side and get even more out of the batch!

Thanks once again Liz for a fabulous dessert!

The only change I made on these was to do a glaze on top instead of a ganache.
