SUPER PEANUT BUTTER FILLED BROWNIES
My most-requested dessert recipe. Moist brownie bottom topped with a thick peanut butter filling and topped off with a chocolate glaze. Please watch the brownies carefully and remove from the oven when toothpick comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it. If your toothpick comes out completely clean then they are overbaked and you will end up with a "cake-like" brownie. Glass pyrex baking pans have yielded the best results in my experience. Note: This recipe doubles beautifully!

Tips:
- Use high-quality peanut butter. The better the peanut butter, the better the brownies will taste. Look for a peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and no added sugar or salt.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough, dry brownies. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will result in dry brownies.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set and hold their shape.
- Serve the brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. This will help to balance out the richness of the brownies.
Conclusion:
These rich peanut butter brownies are the perfect treat for any chocolate and peanut butter lover. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is always a winner, and these brownies are no exception.
