EXTRA NUTTY PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE BROWNIES: National Peanut Butter Lovers Day

Today is National Peanut Butter Lovers Day! Here's a great  recipe for Extra Nutty Peanut Butter Fudge Brownies adapted from Pillsbury. I don't usually use boxed mixes, but this is a good recipe. Of course you can make your own brownies and just add the layer of peanut butter fudge and 1/2 cup chopped peanuts.

I really like the clean salty taste of plain roasted peanuts, rather than the recommended honey-roasted peanuts in the original recipe.

I also add chocolate chips to the recipe and cut down on the peanut butter chips. You can never have enough chocolate!

Have a Peanut Buttery Day!
