More chocolate, more peanut butter

Because really, there can never be too much chocolate or peanut butter in your life.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUP BROWNIES
1 box chocolate brownie mix (for 9 x 13 pan); plus eggs, water and vegetable oil as called for on box
1 1/2 C. powdered sugar
3/4 C. peanut butter
1/4 C. butter, softened
2-4 T. cream
1 tub chocolate frosting

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 13 x 9 inch baking pan; set aside. Prepare and bake brownie mix as described on box. Place on wire rack and allow to cool slightly.

Add peanut butter and butter in a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly until combined and smooth. Slowly add powdered sugar, mixture will be a bit crumbly. Blend in cream until mixture is fluffy and reaches desired spreading consistency. Spread evenly over warm brownie.

Melt frosting for 30 seconds in the microwave. Stir and put back in for another 10 – 15 second. Pour over peanut butter spread on the brownies. Use a knife to spread the chocolate evenly.

Put in refrigerator for an hour to set. Take out and let the brownie sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.

This qualifies as breakfast food. Seriously. There's peanut butter in it, right? And you'd put peanut butter on toast for breakfast, right? So why not on a brownie? And Harry Potter fans know chocolate is a great remedy for dementors and nothing is more demented than early mornings. So enjoy!

  3. Why have we not had any of this at any agility trials? There is however, a trial coming up that we could have "breakfast" in a few weeks. I may have to try this one out myself. Yes - these are my two favorite food groups!
