Chocolate and peanut butter lovers these are for you! 3 Layer Peanut Butter Brownies bring the best of both worlds together in one amazing dessert.
These brownies are amazing. I had made these (also amazing so try them too), but I wanted to continue with my chocolate and peanut butter obsession (Lori has it too) so I changed things up a bit and came up with these.
They are delicious and you have to try them (they are also really easy for the taste – people will be amazed and you’ll be like it was a ton of work – but no no it wasn’t!)

Omigosh, putting nutter butters in brownies is such a cool idea! I bet they make an awesome texture profile with the chewy brownie and cookie dough base. They look amazing.
