This is another great gift or potluck treat. You can really make them look impressive by brushing top with maple syrup and sprinkling with finely chopped toasted peanuts just before serving. Try cutting them into longer, thinner bars instead of the traditional square for a change of pace.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons butter
1 cup granulated sugar

Made these yesterday, and WOW! I will be making these over and over again for sure. I used the butter and cooked them for 20 min. Chewy, gooey and YUMMY. My chocolate loving son actually had 3 of these and loved them!

I'm not rating this because I strayed away from the directions. I took the advice of previous reviewers and didn't use the butter, but I also used Splenda instead of sugar and I think that messed with the texture and consistency. My advice to anyone is to NOT replace the sugar, otherwise this recipe won't come out right.

I was craving a dessert that was both easy to make and peanut butter based. These brownies melted in my mouth. I'd suggest serving them warm to enjoy the full flavor. Thanks a bunch for our new family fave!

Really yummy dessert!! I found that my first batch came out a little too greasy, though. On my second try, I left out the butter and they came out perfect!! Absolutely delicious, great peanut butter flavor and nice and chewy!
