These were really good. Moist with just a bit of peanut butter flavor. I used a glaze instead of frosting and they were so good!

Very easy to make. For boxed brownies and canned frosting, this was pretty good. The peanut butter filling was really good and creamy. I used chunky peanut butter. I would make this quick and easy "take to a church function" dessert again.

I made these to bring to a family gathering because I knew the kids wanted brownies. Now they're requested and often hidden from the kids. Easy, rich, yummy!

We all thought they were very good. I didn't put the chocolate frosting on though because that's just too much chocolate for me. The peanut butter layer was a good frosting although it was a little thick for me and I would probably not put quite as much next time.

These are sooooo good. My 8 yr old said he wanted to eat them all. I took them to Sunday School and everyone loved them and some asked for the recipe.

I omitted the chocolate frosting on top. The peanut butter layer makes the perfect frosting! Also I stirred a half package of peanut butter chips into the brownie batter. Mmmmm! Will be making these regularly!
