Peanut Butter Cream-Topped Brownies
"I got this recipe out of my local newspaper in 1998. It is from Hershey's/Reese's. I've looked on their website and they do not have this recipe posted there. These are very rich and delicious!!"

- In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda). Add to the chocolate mixture, make sure it is mixed in well.
- Pour the batter into the 9 inch pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. Do not over bake. Cool completely.
- PEANUT BUTTER CREAM: Beat the butter and peanut butter in a medium bowl.
- Alternately add the powdered sugar and light cream, mixing it to spreading consistency.
- Frost the brownies once they are completely cool.
- CHOCOLATE GLAZE: Using a small microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and the butter on high for about 45 seconds. Stir the mixture until the chips are completely melted.

These border on insane sweetness wise. They are very rich and the peanut butter cream is delicious. I could eat that alone. I am not a fan of chocolate, so I took a small piece and my hubby and kids rated this for me. They say 4 stars, I think 3. I made enough of the drizzle to make a complete topping. Made for Spring 2013 PAC. -
The combo of peanut butter and chocolate is addictive. -
These are CRAZY good brownies! Super duper rich, and oh so good! I didn't add the chocolate drizzle, that would have bordered on obscene. Thanks for posting the recipe, I know I'll be making these again.

OMG - are these divine or what ?? I made these for our annual "Thanksgiving luncheon" at the office, and all the ladies wanted the recipe! For me, a little labor-intensive due to the three different "assemblies" but sooooo worth it! These are delicious. DD, the brownie expert, even said so. The only thing I did different was I made these gluten-free using Pamela's baking mix, and used all organic ingredients otherwise. Thanks for posting, this is a keeper recipe. So glad I tried it. Made for FALL PAC 2012. -
These are the most incredible brownies, especially if you love chocolate and peanut butter. These are a big hit whenever I make them. Everyone always wants the recipe.

if you're in a hurry boxed brownies work just as well!

I miss being able to sort through my saved recipes by rating, or even being able to search in what were my cookbooks. ?I miss the forum games/swaps/events. ?I feel sadness for all the time I wasted saving recipes that I can't find and disappointment in the people working at food.com who decided that all these changes were necessary. ?I read in the blog that read-only forums will be back when the technicalities can be worked out. ?But when will I be able to find a recipe in my own recipe box. ?What sense is there in a recipe website that doesn't allow you to search for one of your recipes? ?I used to think that I could start whittling down my collection of paper cookbooks, and hand written note cards because I could find whatever I needed online. ?Perhaps I still can, but not here. ?Thank God I didn't get rid of any of them.
