PEANUT BUTTER CRISPY BROWNIES



Peanut Butter Crispy Brownies image

This is an adaptation of a "Brownie Goody Bar" recipe I found on the back of a Better Crocker brownie box a few years ago. We also call them Scotcharoo Brownies, because they have a butterscotch, peanut butter, rice crispy layer on top of a fuggy brownie. This is my family's favorite sweet treat! They are sooo good. I usually wrap them individually in suran wrap and store in the refrigerator so that they do not all get eaten at once. This slows the guys down a little.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality peanut butter: The peanut butter is the star of the show in these brownies, so make sure to use a brand that you love. Look for a peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and has no added sugar or salt.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dense brownies. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking the brownies will result in dry, crumbly brownies.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also store the brownies in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter crispy brownies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are rich, chocolatey, and peanut buttery, with a crispy outer layer and a chewy center. They are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So what are you waiting for? Give them a try today!
