Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies Recipe

Directions

Ingredients :

½ cup butter, softened

½ cup peanut butter

½ cup white sugar

½ cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 pinch salt

½ cup milk chocolate chips

⅔ cup peanut butter

⅔ cup confectioners' sugar

¼ cup shortening

½ cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¾ cup frozen whipped topping, thawed

Methods :

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, blend together the butter, 1/2 cup peanut butter, white sugar, brown sugar, egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla until smooth. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.

Step 3

Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until firm. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let stand for a minute, then spread the chips to form a layer.

Step 4

To make the topping, blend together the 2/3 cup peanut butter, confectioners' sugar and shortening. Gradually stir in the milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Gently mix in the whipped topping. Chill. When brownies and topping are both cooled, spread topping onto brownies and cut into bars.
