Pro Tips for Success:

  • Add a pinch of salt: A small sprinkle of salt on top before baking can enhance the sweetness of the brownies and bring out the peanut butter flavor.

  • Don’t overbake: To keep the brownies soft and fudgy, make sure to check them at 15 minutes. If a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs, they’re ready to come out of the oven.

  • Serve with ice cream: For an extra indulgent treat, serve your peanut butter brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate dessert experience!
