PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8 X 8 pan. In a medium bowl, stir the flour, baking powder and salt together with a wire whisk and set aside. In a mixer, cream the butter and peanut butter until smooth. Add the sugars and mix until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Spread in the pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until done. Frosting: Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals until smooth. Stir in the peanut butter until completely combined and set aside. In a mixer, beat the butter until smooth. Add the sugar and mix until combined. Add the chocolate and peanut butter mixture and mix until completely blended. You can add a teaspoon at a time of milk if you would like the frosting creamier. When the brownies are cool, spread the frosting on top. Go ahead and cut the brownies into 16 servings in the pan. On each serving make peanut butter cookie marks with a fork. I placed the brownies in the freezer for a few minutes first to firm so the frosting didn't get too messed up when I cut them.
