These brownies are fudgy with bits of chocolate chips, & just when you think it couldn’t get any better, it’s topped with a layer of creamy peanut butter frosting. This is one decadent brownie bite!

Peanut butter and chocolate is a favorite combination of mine and these brownies are ridiculously delicious! The frosting is almost like the center of the buckeye balls that you make for Christmas. You know! Like the centers of Reece’s peanut butter cups? Practically the same thing. These are so YUMMY!
