Oreo and Peanut Butter Brownies

Tags

Hi, my name’s Monique and I’m a peanut butter and choc-oholic.

When Nick and I went to the US and Central America in June 2011, I went a little crazy with the amount of Reese’s peanut butter cups I could eat. Our first stop when we got there was San Diego; naturally the first thing I ate was a giant peanut butter cup (after a 14 hour flight, and 4 hour train trip). Next, a late night, drunken stop to a pharmacy in San Francisco called for a packet of 12 peanut butter cups.. Eaten in 1 sitting. Then Boston, more peanut butter cups from many drug stores. Finally, Connecticut – 4th of July, definitely a time for celebration – with peanut butter cups, Dr. Pepper, Yodels, snack packs, a B.B.Q, beer pong and a hell of a lot of backyard fireworks.

Well, of course when I came back to Australia I toned it down a little since Reese’s is not so readily available. But then I came across this Oreo and Peanut Butter Brownie recipe at Picky Palate and well, I had to try! They didn’t have an overwhelming peanut butter taste, it was just subtle, and simply delicious.
