Layered Peanut Butter Brownies Recipe

Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Brownies

Regular brownies are always good, but delicious ooey gooey layered peanut butter brownies are even more of a treat.

There is a layer of chocolate on top and a layer of peanut butter on the bottom.

Chocolate and peanut butter were made for each other, so these yummy treats disappear quickly.

Make them for yourself or make them for a friend who could use a tasty pick me up!

These brownies “feel” complicated, since there are two distinct layers.

However, they really are easy to make.

You do need separate bowls for each type of batter, but the ingredients are basic and easy to stir together.

If you have kids who like to help in the kitchen, this recipe is a great choice for a family baking project.

Enjoy!
