Gluten-Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Brownies

Today is National Gluten-Free Day! I'm always looking for Gluten Free Recipes for my friends, and this recipe for Gluten-Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Brownies is a winner. Recipe adapted from Reese's. You can use Reese's Pieces, if you chop them up, but the Reese's peanut butter chips are easier.
