Peanut butter cookies and fudge brownies are delicious, why not make Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownies?  If you follow my blog, you might sense that I really adore peanut butter and chocolate together.  Just a little bit.

You can still enjoy an indulgent treat without all of those the extra calories and junk. Yes these have sugar in them, but food should taste good, right? These are perfect for an occasional treat. Go ahead, go for it.

Sometimes I will cut these into bite size pieces (32 small brownies) and put them in the freezer separately in individual freezer safe plastic bags.  This way, I have a small size, decadent treat on hand when I need it ๐Ÿ™‚

    These look amazing. Just one question – do you think I could substitute almond flour for the a.p flour? Trying to avoid processed foods when I can. Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

      Hi Michele. I actually use whole wheat flour, not AP. Let me know if you use almond flour, I’d love to know how they come out! You might have to add a little xanthan gum to hold it together though ๐Ÿ™‚ Good luck!

    Do you think white whole wheat or whole wheat pastry flour would work? These look great!
