Peanut Butter Brookies

By srumbel

A chocolate brownie layer topped with peanut butter cookie and Reese’s peanut butter cups! That’s how you make Peanut Butter Brookies! The dark rich chocolate brownies on the bottom of the Brookies is the first step to creating this ultimate dessert. I love using this brownie base on it’s own or topped with butterscotch and KitKats. It’s fudgy and rich and just perfect in every way a brownie should be!

I topped this brownie base with peanut butter cookie dough. Soft and chewy peanut butter cookies. On top of a brownie. With Reese’s mini peanut butter cups.
