Peanut Butter Fudge Brownies

A while ago Nat had given me a Reese's recipe booklet (since we both share a love of Reese's), and it wasn't until the end of last year that I finally baked something from that booklet!

I chose to make Peanut Butter Fudge Brownies.

They were pretty easy to make, but quite hard to cut!  The brownies and fudge were just so thick and rich!

And a little goes a long way - I would probably cut them into smaller bars the next time.

So decadent!

If you love peanut butter and chocolate, you'll love this!
