Brownies with Peanut Butter Fudge Frosting

I didn't have peanut butter chips, but I did have swirled milk chocolate and peanut butter chips and what a happy surprise that turned out to be! After tasting these I know I will always make the frosting this way! I also replaced 1/4 c. of the butter with 1/4 c. peanut butter and let me tell you, the result was this beautiful, gooey "stuff" that looked like caramel ice cream topping. Thinking the brownies could use a little garnish or decoration, I sprinkled more of the swirled milk chocolate and peanut butter chips over the top. So pretty! Taste is what really matters, however, so I cut myself a tiny piece to "test" them and man oh man, what another happy surprise! I didn't expect them to be THAT good! This milk chocolatey, peanut buttery frosting sets up nicely in the refrigerator but is still gooey, and is the perfect finish on the chewy, fudgey brownie beneath. That "taste" was so darn good it ended up being the equivalent of two brownies. My only criticism is that the title doesn't do these deliciously decadent brownies justice!

I had read the reviews for this recipe and was a little worried about making it, but they sounded so good that I decided to try anyway. I put them in the refridgerator right after I put the frosting on top of the brownies. In a couple of hours, it was hard. They were absolutely delicious, and not at all gooey. I will definately make these again, and they were so easy!

I made these for my boyfriend's birthday (he LOVES peanut butter). He rated this as a 4 star brownie. I did add a healthy dollop of peanut butter to the frosting to make sure it had a nice peanut flavor. I like these best when they're cold because the peanut butter isn't so overwhelming, but bf likes them better warm. **UPDATE** I had to change this to 5 stars because my boyfriend took these to work and his coworkers said they would pay me to make these again this week. If a bunch of grown men offer to pay $20 for a brownie, it's gotta be a 5 star. :)

These were good but *very* rich. I also recommend making a 13x9 inch pan of brownies because the topping makes so much.

After reading over the ingredient list, I realized that these brownies have to be refridgerated. They turn out great everytime, the topping is soft and creamy, and it holds up well when cut with a knife. They make a great presentation at a party. The other reviewers obviously didn't realize that when chocolate chips, butter and sweetened condensed milk cool in the refridgerator that they harden a bit. This is not a "sloppy mess".

I loved this frosting. I did not however put it on brownies. I made the frosting for a chocolate cake and I had no left overs. I did make a slight change though. I added 1 1/2 - 2 cups of peanut butter chips and just dumped it on top of a chocolate cake that was still in baking dish. The frosting will ooze down the sides of dish. This is a great peanut butter frosting recipe.

This is delicious...I used other's reviews and chilled after spreading the topping on, and it was easy to cut. Also, I added a tablespoon of Peanut butter, which made it nice and tasty... Great recipe, easy to make!

Super good! I couldn't stop licking the spatula after I spread the frosting on the brownies. I put about 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in with the chips and butter, just to assure a good peanut butter flavor. Once spread in the pan, I drizzled Hershey's Syrup across the top and then dragged the tip of a knife through it to make a pretty design. I kept it in the refrigerator till the frosting set up but I think that it tastes better at room temperature. Either way, the frosting wasn't runny. To be honest though, I think the frosting would be better on a Texas Sheet Cake than it is on the brownie.

A good recipe. I added 1 cup of chips to the batter. For the frosting, I omitted the butter. After frosting, I placed the brownies in the refridgerator.

I took this to a church dinner. Everyone loved it. The only problem was that the fudge never set, so it was really messy.
