Peanut Butter Truffle Brownies

These brownies were sooooo good. Especially if you're a fan of chocolate and peanut butter. I found these on the Betty Crocker website. You start with your brownie. Make a peanut butter frosting, and then top it off with a nice little chocolate glaze. So easy and oh so good. The recipe calls for a brownie mix. I was going to use my own recipe, but at the last minute decided to be lazy. Plus I think most brownie mixes come out better then brownies from scratch.

The recipe states to either grease your brownie pan, or line it with foil. I lined mine with foil. It made it so much easier to work with. Once the brownies were cooled I just lifted the ends, of the foil, and took em out. Peeled the foil away from the sides and then started frosting it. After spreading the frosting on I let it set in the fridge just to firm it up and make it easier for the glaze. Once I put the glaze on I let that set up in the fridge also. I tried cutting some before it was completely set cause I was trying to go somewhere, but it's best to wait. When it came time to cut the rest I kept running my knife under warm water and wiping it clean so you'd have clean looking brownies, if not the peanut butter comes up and gets in the glaze. Also I made these pretty small which I'm glad I did. They were way rich and easier to eat that way.

(see how the peanut butter came up into the frosting on the middle one. clean knife makes them look much better)

Go here if you'd like to try the recipe out! Beware they are very addicting.

(once again sorry for the poor picture taken. I was tired and in a hurry.)
