These Peanut Butter Brownies are perfectly soft, chewy and full of peanut butter flavor! The frosting is just amazing and can be used on many different desserts.

Peanut Butter Brownies on Mandy's Recipe Box

Hey there! Mandy from Mandy’s Recipe Box here today! I seriously have the best brownie recipe ever, right here. That’s a huge statement that I don’t say lightly. It’s absolutely true.

I don’t love regular brownies. I will eat them here or there, but I won’t seek them out that’s for sure. Go ahead and say it: Weirdo. But these Peanut Butter Brownies, you guys. I made them first thing in the morning and after one bite, they totally became my breakfast. No joke. What?  I had them with a glass of milk.  Milk is totally a breakfast food.

The frosting is so light and fluffy that you can eat it with a spoon. These might look a little rich but aren’t rich at all. Perfect for snacking and good luck having any leftovers after serving these!

    These brownies are so good! I just made them except after they came out the oven I sprinkled some white chocolate chips on top the brownies and let them melt and spread them across the brownies…then put the frosting on. Great recipe!!
