Jazz up the boxed brownie!

I really don't mean to keep posting unhealthy recipes!! (OK, maybe I do!) Everyone loves peanut butter brownies, right!? I found this recipe on-line to jazz up my boxed brownie that was sitting in the cupboard for weeks. We Love them!! Yum,Yum!! I just made them for Easter dinner at Grandma's house, so that prompted me to share the recipe!

Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies (adapted)
1 boxed brownie mix for a 13x9 pan, prepared according to box directions

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup sugar
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. Spray 13X9 pan with cooking spray.

Prepare peanut butter swirl: using a stand mixer, beat peanut butter, sugar, butter, flour, vanilla, and egg until well blended.

Spread two-thirds of the prepared chocolate brownie batter into the bottom of the pan. Top with 6 large (or 12 small) dollops of peanut butter mixture. Top with remaining 1/3 of brownie batter. With tip of knife, cut and twist through mixtures to create swirled effect.

Bake brownie 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from edge comes out almost clean. Cool in pan on wire rack.

Enjoy!
