Nothing tastes quite a good to me as warm chocolate peanut butter homemade brownies.
I especially love the slightly crunchy top and the gooey inside, but once they cool they are more cake like.
These brownies are like comfort food at its finest for me, espeically when they are slightly warm.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Homemade Brownies
Peanut butter and chocolate are the perfect combination for so many people, and this homemade brownie combines both flavors.
I prefer to use either homemade peanut butter or an all natural store bought peanut butter, but you can use whatever kind you prefer.
I also prefer an unsweetened dark chocolate cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa powder, but again the choice is yours.
Dark chocolate is actually healthier for you and while homemade brownies are not a health food, I feel like choosing ingredients that are healthier and less sugary are the better choice.
