i substituted half the flour for cocoa, but i must have missed the part where more sugar was added. They need much more sugar if you add cocoa.

Always a big hit when I make these! I always substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of peanuts though. I stir them into the batter, and then sprinkle some on the top. Be careful not to overcook these, as they're MUCH better soft.

I used cocoa in place of half the flour, chocolate chips instead of peanuts and a little more brown sugar. They were perfect!

This recipe calls for NO chocolate, so they're really a peanut butter cookie bar. I even added 1/3 cup cocoa for half of the flour as suggested and they turned out only slightly chocolate-y. Try using melted chocolate chips or even more cocoa powder to achieve the results shown in the picture. I would recommend only creamy peanut butter and the addition of peanut butter chips as well; this gave creamier results.

These are the most delicious brownies EVER. I made them once last winter during a snow storm, and they absolutely got me through it. They are unbelievably divine.

great recipe! I got a bit confused with some of the recommended changes and ended up adding 1/3 c unsweetened coco powder without reducing the flour. The dough was really thick but I baked it anyway and was surprised that it turned out great.

I'm always on the lookout for a good dessert recipe since my DH is allergic to chocolate. This was great-- had the richness of brownies just with peanut butter. I followed the recipe except I used crunchy PB so I left out the extra nuts. I'm sure it would be great with choc chips. The photo really is not right; the brownie shown is chocolate.

I thought this was okay. I would add choc. chips the next time. I did do what some others suggested and added baking cocoa but still not enough of a brownie for me. I guess I'm use to more of a choc taste and so that's why I'm not rating it low because it turned out good but not tasty or sweet enough for me. Thanks for sharing.

It's definitely good enough to keep. When I made it I found the batter to be a bit too crumbly (maybe I did something wrong?), so I added a splash of milk to it. I didn't have creamy peanut butter so I used crunchy - therefore I left out the nuts. I also added some chocolate chips (like someone below suggested), and a few teaspoons of chocolate syrup. It gave it a very interesting taste, but I liked it!

These were quite good, although I don't consider them to have an overly strong peanut butter flavour, despite them being called Peanut Butter Brownies. I made a full plus half of the recipe (for 18 servings) & baked in a 9" square pan. I did swap out some of the flour and added some good quality dark cocoa powder (ratio was 2/3 cup flour and 1/3 cup cocoa). Frosted with One Minute Chocolate Icing from this site...yummy!

DELISH!!! except I think the cocoa taste was a little strong... I think I will use more sugar or less cocoa next time.

These were tasty and easy to make, but like other reviewers, I recommend reducing the sugar and adding chocolate chips. I also undercooked them just slightly so they would be a little gooey in the middle - it was the perfect balance between cakey-ness and gooey-ness.

Good starter recipe. My 12 year old made these. I would highly recommend using the peanut butter frosting from this site to top these babies.... I added Pecans because that is what we had. Thanks for an easy recipe...All the brownies are gone..... :)

This recipe was good but a little plain. I would advise adding some chocolate in. Also, the picture is false advertising; it does not look anything like it. Overall, I would give this 4 out 5 stars.
