A Special Birthday Peanut Butter Chip Brownie Recipe

Happy Birthday Mom!!!!

A special day, for sure!  And to kick off such an event, I tried a new twist on brownies by adding peanut butter chips in them.  My personal opinion is that chocolate is divine, but if you throw peanut butter in the mix... well, it's just hard to beat.  And add a cold glass of milk to the mix, and that'll get you a big ol' "Holy Snap!"  Who needs birthday cake when you have a good ol' brownie?? 



The simple scratch recipe goes like this:

1 cup butter, melted
2 cups sugar
2 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
3/4 cup flour
1 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 bag of peanut butter chips

Preheat oven to 350.  Combine the butter and sugar.  Add vanilla and eggs, incorporating well.  Add flour, cocoa and powder, mixing well.  Stir in chips.  Pour into greased 9x13 baking dish and bake 30 - 35 minutes or until toothpick entered into center comes out clean. 

The bad news is that I didn't take prep pictures! So that means you'll have to use your imagination this time!

So, here's to you, Mom!  I hope Dad holds up his part of the birthday celebration by taking you out to dinner to use your gift certificate! 

Enjoy!
