Chewy peanut butter brownies will satisfy an peanut butter lover.

Chewy Peanut Butter Brownies–YUM!

Let me start by saying that I am a huge peanut butter fanatic. I love the stuff so much that I eat it straight from the jar with a spoon. So when I saw these chewy peanut butter brownies, I knew I had to make them.

All I can say is they are really very good. Surprisingly, they’re not too sweet either. That was something I appreciated since most of these types of food are a little heavy on the sugar. The amounts in the recipe are just right.

Peanut Butter

Since the flavor depends upon it, use a good-tasting peanut butter. This can be your favorite brand and it doesn’t have to cost a fortune. For my taste, the best one is Walmart’s house label. It has a rich, deep peanutty taste that beats the more expensive brand in my opinion.

A honey roasted variety would work well here too. As far as crunchy peanut butter goes, it would probably be OK to use although I have never tried it. If. you use it and get good results, please let me know so I can list it as an option.

Like Chocolate?

OK I know–who doesn’t. However you can dress up these brownies by drizzling some melted chocolate on top. You could really get bold and top them with chocolate frosting.

Personally, I think the drizzle would work best here. That way there’s no overkill with flavor. Chocolate is strong so it may mask the peanutty taste.

The drizzle I’d use is a simple ganache. That’s about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream where you just nuke and stir. The best part is whatever is left over hardens to a great bark-like texture. I spread the leftover on wax paper and just let it solidify. Delicious!
