Yum! I didn't want the top layer of canned frosting, so I drizzled melted chocolate chips one direction and melted peanut butter chips the other direction. Very pretty and sooooo good!

This is my favorite brownie recipe! But it is super rich, so I recommend cutting the confectioners' sugar in half. I've done this several times and enjoyed it with less sugar.

These were AMAZING!! I made my own frosting instead of using canned stuff and it was even better than we could have imagined!! These are definitely worth making!!

Even though these were a little too sweet for me, my husband and kids loved them. The only change I made was the frosting. I won't buy ready made frosting so I made my own.

Made these for a pot luck at work and they were "sinful." Would suggest leaving the top layer of chocolate frosting off - the peanut butter frosting is delicious just by itself!

yummy, prefer the filling and using homemade brownies as well as frosting.

Delicious! I made in a 2.2 qt baking dish and topped with quartered reese's miniature cups...over the top with richness!! Chopped peanuts would have been a nice topping also. I used 5 teaspoons of pudding mix and 1/4 cup of peanut butter and it held together nicely. I'll just save the rest of the box of pudding for the next time and make this, which will definitely be soon. Cut into small servings because this is so rich.
