Can we just take a look at these for a second, please?
Actually maybe we should take a few minutes. Or hours. I could stare at these babies 4eva.
Gooey. Stuffed with big chunks of dark chocolate. Topped with the most delicious peanut butter frosting you’ve ever had! Seriously, I could swim in that frosting and probably ate a good quarter of it straight out of the bowl before topping the brownies.
It’s a frosting-casualty that I’m willing to sacrifice.
You know, me and brownie go waaaaaay back. They probably come in second as my favorite dessert (apple pie will always hold the gold medal in my heart), and I ain’t no brownie snob either. Give me a pre-made box of brownie mix and I’m as happy as a clam. A clam with brownie batter smothered all over its shell. What am I talking about again?
Oh yeah, these.
They’re made entirely from scratch, but come together ridiculously quickly. I can probably have the batter done in less than 10 minutes, and that’s with me stealing bites every 4 seconds. Yes, that’s right. 4 seconds to be exact. The base layer of these gorgeous little love bites comes from Something Swanky. I found her recipe off Pinterest (also you should follow me so you can see all 9 million recipes I’ve pinned) a few months ago, and don’t think I’ll ever use another brownie recipe again. Thick, fudgy, and with big ol’ chunks of chocolate. What more could you possibly want?
And now I really need to get back to talking about this frosting. I want to spend all of my waking hours combining butter and powdered sugar and peanut butter and happiness and then eat it out of the mixer with a spoon the size of my face while watching Game of Thrones on the couch. Very specific, I know, but that’s my dream in life.
It’s just so light and fluffy and perfectly sweet that I can’t even handle it. I just want to nosh all over it SO HARD. And you will too, once you try it.
Please, please make these. You will thank me.

YUM! My favorite flavor combination– definitely going to make these!
Omigosh these look amazing! <3
PEANUT BUTTER frosting?! Oh man. I could eat brownies everyday. Actually, every 4 seconds 😉 these look so yummy!
OMG! Those look amazing!!! Pinning now
I.Can.t.Even.
I am a die hard chocolate and peanut butter mix kinda girl. Slap it together in brownie form? You’ve got one happy girl. I have been craving brownies for so long now.
You are the kitchen genius. No if, ands, or buts.
Care to send me a package of these? 😉
woo-wee! I don’t normally comment on recipe posts that I haven’t tried yet…but these pictures and juicy details on this post changed allll that! Those honestly look so good. The flavor combo looks (IS) good, the pics look good (aka awesome), and the texture looks good! <3 brownies!
Wowwee I’d never thought of peanut butter frosting ON TOP OF brownies. You my friend are revolutionary! These look sooooo good!
Giiiiirl these look fabulous! Can brownies look fabulous lolol how about delicious? Or BOTH??? Choc+pb….you really can’t go wrong.
Chocolate & pb really are a match made in Heaven! I’m getting all bubbly inside just looking @ the photo. I bet they are to die for!!
These look amazing, girl. Well, aside from the fact that they have peanut butter, anyways 😛 But replace the PB with AB and I’m in heaven. Actually, I had a similar frosting on my last birthday cake, so I can definitely say that this one’s a winner. And with chocolate? I swoon.
Great. You just gave me diabetes looking at these. DARK chocolate and peanut butter is without a doubt the best combination. Genius Apple.
This is the second pb brownie recipe in my reader this morning and I can’t even handle it!! I want them for breakfast. #drooling
How in the world did I miss these babies? I just signed up for your newsletter so it won’t happen again
The peanut butter frosting is seriously making me drool – I just made some dark chocolate heath brownies, and now I am considering adding your PB frosting to the top!
Are we the same person?! Our dreams in life are pretty similar the same at this point. Though I might alternate whipping up batches of this peanut frosting and my go-to chocolate frosting [read: chocolate whipped cream. Simple. Addictive.] and watch old episodes of Gossip Girl instead. It’s kind of the same thing, right?!
your dream life sounds freakishly similar to mine…is it sunday yet? Will you bring the brownies? Winter is coming…
So I made these last night. yah. SO GOOD! ah! It was quite unhealthy of me for the amount I ate :* But oh my, these are absolutely a keeper!
HOORAY!! SO glad you liked them, Autumn :). Maybe I should just hire you as my official recipe tester 😉 <3.
lol!
