Peanut Butter Swirled Brownies

Fresh out of the Oven!!

Peanut Butter Swirled Brownies

 So this evening after dinner I had the urge to bake something. I knew we had cocoa powder and peanut butter so I decided I would find a recipe for Peanut Butter Swirled Brownies, but could not find a recipe. Maybe I wasn't looking on the right website or typing in the correct wording for it, so I used my brownie recipe and decided to tweak it. I wasn't sure how they would turn out, but I believe that they turned out quite well! They are chocolaty, but not to chocolaty, and they also have a touch of peanut butter flavor. They are, in my opinion the best! It is for sure a recipe to keep! I've included the recipe below, so I hope you try them and enjoy them!! They are very good fresh out of the oven when they are still warm. Jerrod likes his with some butter melted over the top of them, so there's another suggestion for trying them. I bet they also would be awesome with some vanilla ice cream!

Till Next Time!!!
