You already know how I feel about peanut butter and chocolate. It’s a match made in food heaven. These brownies that I came up with this past weekend are just another tribute to that magical combination.
When grocery shopping recently, I came across a bag of Chex Muddy Buddies. Now, I know you can make Muddy Buddies mix (otherwise known as Puppy Chow) easily from scratch but I had no idea that I could buy it prepackaged in the chip aisle. As soon as I saw this glorious concoction, I knew I had to bake with it. Add chocolate peanut butter crunch to something that is already fabulous.
Brownies! That is what needs a little crunch!
After debating a few combinations, I came up with this fantastic brownie concoction that also adds in some thick peanut butter frosting. You can use box mixes (yes, I cheated and used a box and pre-packaged Muddy Buddies mix) or make the brownies and muddy buddies mix from scratch but either way, it ends up being the most delicious, rich dessert ever.
