Recipe: Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies
Individual brownies perfect for packing in lunches or for bake sales (or just for dessert!).
Chocolate and peanut butter might be the best flavor combination – ever. And, with the beginning of school on the horizon, which means packing lunch and bake sales also just around the corner, these individual brownies are perfect.
If you’re not a fan of peanut butter, you can also use whit chocolate chips, or any kind of chips you’d prefer (butterscotch chips would probably also be fantastic!).
