Peanut Butter Brownies

Today it was raining out, and very dreary. Obviously, a great day for baking. However, I was feeling kind of lazy and didn't want to make anything from scratch. After a quick perusing through my kitchen cupboards, I settled on brownies. I obviously can't bring plain old box brownies though. So now what?

It's like magic.

Peanut Butter. That's what. Chris has a love of all things peanut butter and chocolate (except no-bake cookies, that weirdo). So I whipped up some peanut butter swirled brownies. Easy and fast and very tasty!

Ingredients:

Any box brownie mix, or if you have more time, make some homemade ones.
Whatever ingredients your mix requires (usually water, oil and eggs)
 3 tbs peanut butter
1 tbs powdered sugar

Directions:

1. Prepare your brownie mix according to the instructions and pour into a 9x9 in pan.

Brownies!

2. Put 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of peanut butter in a small bowl and mix them together.

3.  Dollop the peanut butter mixture into the brownie pan.

Dolloped peanut butter is not very pretty.

4. Swirl the peanut butter throughout the brownies with a spoon or knife. I swirled mine a little too much, which is why it looks so mixed in. Next time I'm going to try to swirl less so there are more pronounced peanut butter parts.



5. Bake according to the brownie directions, and enjoy!

End result: Tasty brownie treats!
