Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

November 18, 2014 by Emily Hill 7 Comments

I kid you not, these peanut butter brownies are my absolute most favorite brownies in the whole entire world. I first posted the recipe almost four years ago, long before any food photography skills kicked in. I’ve been dying to redo the recipe and photos for forever…and not just because I wanted an excuse to bake and eat an entire batch.

Actually, I baked these as part of a peanut butter chocolate trifle I made for George’s birthday, but you’ll have to wait a week or two before seeing that bowl of amazingness.

If you want to see how I swirled the peanut butter, you can check my original peanut butter swirl brownies post. Just don’t judge me by the photos. I’ve definitely improved since then.

The peanut butter brownies haven’t improved, but that’s because they were perfect to begin with.
