Super Peanut Butter Filled Brownies

My most-requested dessert recipe. Moist brownie bottom topped with a thick peanut butter filling and topped off with a chocolate glaze. Please watch the brownies carefully and remove from the oven when toothpick comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it. If your toothpick comes out completely clean then they are overbaked and you will end up with a "cake-like" brownie. Glass pyrex baking pans have yielded the best results in my experience. Note: This recipe doubles beautifully!

This brownies are killer-literally! I just made these brownies for a social gathering, and a lady with diabetes told me that since everyone had been raving so much about the brownies and bugging me for the recipe, she HAD to try one~and then, because it was so good, she HAD to have another! I used the "one-bowl brownies" recipe on the back of the Baker's unsweetened chocolate box since they are by far the easiest and best brownies I've ever had. I also increased the amount of cream to 1/2 cup and decreased the powdered sugar to 2&1/2 cups and beat the mixture for a really long time-this made the peanut butter mixture more like a frosting than a fudge. I used greased tin foil to line the baking pan so that I could just lift the brownies out to cut them. I also put the chocolate chips and butter into a ziplock and popped them in the microwave and nuked them for about 30 seconds to a minute, pulling them out of the microwave every 10 seconds to squish the bag up until they were melted. Then, just snip a tiny hole in the bottom corner of the ziplock and use it as a disposable decorating piper.

    You need to be ashamed of yourself for posting this. This is obviously recipe theft - this brownie recipe was clearly created by God himself for when they run out of nectar in heaven. Honestly - these should be illegal in all states without first joining a peanut butter brownie twelve step program in order to stop yourself from eating them until you actually BECOME a peanut butter brownie. Sinful. Evil. Terribly uneven I might add - my son and husband were continuously having to "even up" the pan by slicing some more brownie off.

    WOW!...these brownies are a real winner...I made them today, and I will be making a second batch to take over to my neibours house tonight, they are simply sinfully wonderful! This is one of those recipes that you wish you could give more than 5 stars! made just as stated, I baked mine for 22 minutes, as I did not want to overbake the brownies, and added an extra one ounce square of chocolate to the brownie mixture for a deeper chocolate flavor... this is a very moist chocolate brownie with a delicious creamy peanut butter topping, drizzled with chocolate on top...just too good for words, thanks so much Shimmerchk for this wonderful recipe, another winner!....KC
