Peanut Butter Brownies

What do I make when I've got 75 hungry teenagers to bake for and very little extra time in my schedule?  I bake brownies!!!  Peanut butter brownies to be exact. (This was one of 2 giant brownie trays.)

This delicious brownie recipe is baked in a full size baking sheet so depending on how you cut them - you can get 24-36 brownies out of every batch.  I tripled the recipe and made 3 big trays of brownies last week because I knew they wouldn't last long around a crew of hungry teenagers.

I created this recipe using my traditional brownie recipe and adding a delicious peanut butter cookie batter.  I never know how these little baking experiments are going to turn out and quite honestly - they fail more than they succeed.  Fortunately, these brownies turned out fantastic.  I love the chocolate and peanut butter combination and the kids loved them too.

The best brownies are soft and gooey and --- messy.  These peanut butter brownies are exactly that.  These brownies are delicious but because of their moist nature - they're not very photogenic.  It would be easier to cut nice clean squares if they were overbaked and cakey but I decided to sacrifice great pictures for moist, soft, chewy, gooey --- delicious --- brownies.

These brownies were a big hit with the high school kids that I served them too.

I was left with 2 empty platters of brownies at the end of the night.  (All the evidence that I needed to let me know that these really were delicious brownies.)  These brownies also freeze beautifully in ziploc bags so if you don't need a whole batch right away - tuck some away in the freezer and save them for another day. 

Ciao!
