Wow, these brownies look amazing! I’m not sure you could have added more deliciousness! I’m a firm believer that chocolate is a cure-all! 🙂
I love the idea that you & your sisters came up with the idea of lessening the blow with brownies.
Those brownies look AMAZING! Yum!
It’s so delicioze, thnx six Sisters from Tirana!
It’s very nice and thank you six Sisters
We just made these brownies; fortunately, because we wanted to and not because we broke up! They are the BEST brownies we have ever had! They also cut nicely and presented well!
We are so glad you liked them! And you got to enjoy them without a broken heart!! Ha Ha! They can bring a smile to anyone’s face!!
Would use less peanut butter maybe just one cup. Way too rich for me with the 1 1/2 cups
We have only made these according to the directions with the ingredients listed. Not sure if cutting back on the peanut butter would reduce the sweetness. These are a pretty loaded brownie with a lot of sweetness. You could possibly cut back on the candy bars, chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.
I love the story behind this recipe. I appreciate the quick story then the recipe with having to jump through hoops or read a short novel!
Great brownies ! Have you ever frozen them ?
They will freeze great in an airtight freezer container or freezer bag.
