For our Super Bowl dinner last night I had all the fixings for sandwiches and the girls brought chips and bean dip, a relish plate with a yummy ranch dip from Landee See Landee Do and bruchetta. I was in charge of dessert, which I have not been in charge of for a long time, so I asked my husband what he wanted me to make and these brownies were at his request. They are a family favorite and they make a large batch!
I cut them into footballs for the Super Bowl.
Peanut Butter Brownies
1 cup butter
3 tablespoons cocoa
2 1/4 cups sugar
5 eggs
1 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Melt butter and add cocoa. Let cool. Mix eggs and sugar together and add peanut butter. Mix well. Stir cocoa mixture into sugar mixture and mix until combined. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Bake on greased and floured 12″ x 18″ baking sheet at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until toothpick come out clean. Let cool.
Frosting:
2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
2 tablespoon butter
canned milk
Mix sugar, cocoa, vanilla and butter together. Add milk until frosting is of spreading consistency. Spread over cooled brownies. Cut into squares or shapes. Keep covered to store. (note: I used regular milk in mine and they turned out just fine)
I am glad that I typed this recipe up, because I have used this recipe for so long that mine is getting so old and dirty that I am afraid that it is going to be hard to read before too long! Now I have it preserved! :)
These would be a great treat for Valentines Day! They are so moist and have so much flavor that they just might become one of your family favorites too!
Ahh, a new love!
