You’ve heard me say many times before, we’re a chocolate and peanut butter family. But sometimes, we’re just all about the peanut butter. And I know you are, too. So many of you have tried these delicious peanut butter cookies. They really are blue ribbon quality. If you haven’t tried them, just make them right along with these peanut butter brownies and call it a good day.
These brownies have zero chocolate. They’re pure bred peanut butter brownies. Our cousin Sue, who shared this yummy Muenster Chicken recipe with me, also sent me this brownie recipe. Of course she did. Everything Sue recommends is completely and utterly delicious.
