Remember the old peanut butter versus chocolate argument? You don’t have to decide — you can have an abundance of both in this unbelievable brownie! (p. 80)
What do you do when teenagers can’t think of anything to do but stare into the screen of a laptop? Invite them to bake something they’ll love eating! In this case… a multi-step brownie recipe.
BROWNIE COOKIE?
I sort of wonder why the Magnolia bakers call this a brownie. It seems more like a “bar”of some sort. A very good some-sort.
Multi-step? Cookie? Brownie? What would Shrek say?
Well….. What layers?
1) Crust (therefore the cookie/bar ref) – melted butter, flour, confectioner’s sugar, chopped peanuts.
-
Next tool? A small rolling pin? Any other ideas? Still, kinduh fun to apply the baker’s personal, hands-on touch.
2) Filling – cream cheese and peanut butter (mainly) —– Total YUM !!!
3) Brownie – flour, sugar, butter, vanilla, chocolate, AND peanut butter chips !!
( You can see the peanut factor is multiplying.)

Garnish – MORE peanut butter chips — I failed to add these – for reasons to be explained.
ARRIVAL
Lava swirl perfection.
Why no final sprinkling of peanut butter chips?
