Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies

Who can resist a Chocolate Peanut Butter
Brownie???? These are actually very similar to
the Chocolate Mint Brownies click here we
did a few months ago.

These turned out to taste really good...They
are a little rich but you can control that by the
the size you cut each one. Hope you like
them.. P.S. These would be a great addition
to any Super Bowl Party.

Cooking Light replaces 2 of these 4 eggs with

recipe)
