Brownies w/ Creamy Peanut Butter Frosting

Truth: I don't like peanut butter but whenever I make this dessert for my friends, they love it so I keep making it! I use store bought brownies to save time and energy while making the frosting. Full recipe below!

Recipe

Brownies

• Any store bought brownie mix

• Replace water with milk, using the measurement stated on the box

• Replace oil with butter, using the measurement stated on the box

• Egg (however amount the box asks for)

Frosting:

• 1 cup of Creamy peanut butter (not natural or chunky)

• 1 cup of Powdered Sugar

• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

• 3 tbsp of room temperature butter

• 2-5 tbsp of Heavy Cream or Milk, depending on how soft or thick you like frosting

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven based on the temperature as stated on the box

2. Combine brownie mix, milk, butter, and egg until combined

3. Bake for the recommended time as stated on the box

4. Completely cool the brownies

5. In a bowl, add room temperature butter. You know it's ready when it leaves an indent of your finger tip

6. Add powdered sugar and whisk with butter until smooth. It might look clumpy at first but it will be smooth if your butter is room temperature

7. Splash in some vanilla

8. Add heavy cream or milk. Add 2 tbsp at a time depending on your preference in thickness of frosting

9. Whisk until combined

10. Spread frosting on the cooled brownies

Enjoy!
