These are very good brownies BUT, they definitely needed extra peanut butter. I made them the first time, as is, and thought that they tasted more "cheesecakey". The second time, I used 1 full cup of peanut butter and thought that the taste was much better.

We had seven family members gathered, and no one like the cream cheese peanut butter filling at all. Perhaps less cream cheese and more peanut butter and more sugar? We won't make these again.

These were fine but were more of a cream cheese brownie...the peanut butter taste was barely discernable. I thought they were too thick...might have been better baked in a 10x15 pan. Also my personal preference is for a chewier brownie.

I had high hopes for these brownies but I was very dissapointed. They were very cake like and the peanut butter part was eggy. Because of the soft texture they fell apart very quickly. My preference is for a denser and chewier brownie.

My brownies never turn out right...until I made these. They are absolutely delicious and easy to make. I'm not embarrassed to serve these to company! They're awesome!

The window wouldn't let me choose 5 stars, but these are not 4 star brownies, they are 5+ stars.These are by FAR the absolute best brownies I have ever tasted. My whole picky family agree's. They were easy to make and came out perfect. I will be making these again soon. It's hard to believe anything this good isn't a sin. Thanks Margaret and TOH!
