Tips:

  • Use unsweetened cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the batter to enhance the flavors.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough brownie.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them.
  • For a smooth and creamy frosting, use a stand mixer or hand mixer to beat the butter and peanut butter together until light and fluffy.
  • Add the powdered sugar gradually, beating until the frosting is thick and spreadable.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little milk or cream.
