Fudgey Peanut Butter Brownies

I have been on a chocolate and peanut butter bender this past week, so I thought I would finish it off with one of my favorite desserts... BROWNIES! This is a guilt free version that will satisfy even the worst chocolate craving.


Ok, so I know "fudgey" isn't a word, but I feel like it describes the chocolatey goodness of these brownies perfectly! These are dense, moist, and the perfect balance between chocolate and peanut butter. Give them a try... you won't regret it :)
