Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

The hubby and I wanted some late-night brownies last night and what do you know, no boxes of brownies. Thanks to a quick internet search, I found our alternative here. Add some peanut butter and swirl in the mix and voila!: amazing super easy brownies.


I mixed the batter together in a large bowl, then poured it into a greased baking pan.

I used a spoon to drizzle some peanut butter over the top, then ran a knife through the mixture to swirl it into the batter.

I baked the brownies for about 25 minutes, then sprinkled powdered sugar over the top.

Now these were some moist, chocolaty fantastic brownies.  I happen to love peanut butter and chocolate so the addition made for some brownie greatness.  I'll never buy brownie mix again!
