…chocolatey, peanut buttery brownie delight
This has been one of the slowest weeks of my life—I swear today should be Friday, not Tuesday. I don’t know if it’s because the hotel is extremely slow, making my already dreadful 12-hour shifts even more unbearable, or if I’m just anticipating the weekend more than usual. Either way, I’m absolutely dreading my alarm clock tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day. The only thing getting me through this week is the stash of brownies I have hidden in my freezer…and the extra-large jar of Jif peanut butter in my cupboard. Put the two together, and I can forget about anything and everything I have going on in my life. Add a chewy layer of Rice Krispies on top and I’m in heaven. Thanks to Kevin and Amanda, I was able to escape my midweek crisis with these delightful chocolatey, peanut buttery, ooey-gooey brownies. They are just enough to get me through the week until I can get back in the kitchen and bake something else ;) Enjoy!
