Another twist on the ever popular Magic Cookie Bars. Not as good as the orignal, but these will still get eaten. Mine were a bit dry from being overcooked. I did cook the bottom layer at least 5 min longer than called for because it didn't look close to being done. Of course, this goes back into the oven for the second layer so the first layer doesn't need any additional cooking time.

If you want a stronger taste of peanut butter, try using the all natural kind. The second time I made these, I had used the additives kind (hydrogenated oil, sugar...) and it wasn't as peanutty as with the first batch. Perhaps next time, I shall omit the peanut butter alltogether and replace it with a bit of orange zest!

I had a bag peanut butter/ milk chocolate chips and wanted to use them up before it gets too hot. I found this recipe and decided to give it a try. They came out very good. I did use a full stick of butter, other than that followed the recipe exactly. If you like peanut butter, you'll like this brownie. The peanut butter flavor is very rich.

These bars are delicious and addictive. They’re very sweet if you try to eat them too soon out of the oven so it’s best to make them a good 24 hours in advance (as is the case with many brownies). My oven’s a bit faster than some others, so I only needed to bake them for about 30 minutes altogether. For a second batch, I tried substituting the recipe for the brownie layer with mix straight from the box and they still turned out great.

These were a bit of work, but very well worth it. I used 2 extra tablespoons of butter in the chocolate layer as suggested by other reviews, and I also cut the baking times to 15 minutes each and they were done perfectly in my oven. These tasted even better the next day-- I will definitely make again!

Amazing! I made these for a bbq with the boyfriend's parents and his mom was impressed! They were kinda fudgy b/c I took them out earlier and I added more pb and chocolate chips to the top midway through cooling.

I made this recipe over the weekend to bring to a get together and everyone loved them. They are very sweet, so I cut them in small pieces. The only thing I did different to this recipe is I baked it the first time for 15 minutes and after I substituted chopped Reeses peanut butter cups for the Reeses chips I baked it an additional 10-15 minutes.

I have made these twice already; they are delicious. My friends (who are girls) loved them, and told me how good of a cook I am, and nearly everyone who had one at a social event said something good about them. The only bad thing is making everyone happy with enough batches of these treats.

Trouble with a capital T! These brownies are fabulous! I made them for my boyfriend because he is a peanut butter & chocolate freak. I am a beginner cook--this may have been the first dessert I've ever made. These brownies were very easy to make and turned out great. My boyfriend was very impressed! I just popped one in the microwave ( with a moist paper towel) for 15 seconds and it was divine! Glass of milk a must!

Have a glass of milk ready because these are some rich brownies! These are great for a chocolate/peanut butter lover like myself. I did follow other reviewers suggestions and added 8 tablespoons of butter to the chocolate layer, instead of 6. I also only cooked the bottom layer for 15 minutes and then the peanut butter layer for 19 minutes. Really yummy!

I made these to bring to a labor day celebration with my boyfriend's family last fall. This was the first time I was meeting his parents and was hoping to impress them with some awesome brownies (hey, I'm not above using chocolate as a bribe!) His mom is a fantastic cook and I figured if nothing else, I could only hope to make something that was passable but never surpass anything she could make. These brownies were a hit! His family has requested I bring these to several other family gatherings since then. And, his mother asked me for the recipe since his dad and brother could not stop eating them! If this recipe can pass the boyfriend's mother test, then you know its good! I followed other user's tips and cut down the baking time, added some chocolate chips to the brownie batter and scored the brownie layer. I have a huge sweet tooth so I wasn't too careful with measuring the peanut butter and chocolate chips that go on top and threw on a few extra handfuls for good measure. It worked well!

These were moist, but I only cooked the first layer for fifteen minutes, as well as adding two extra tablespoons butter to it. The sweetness seems to come mostly from the chocolate chips & chocolate chip drizzle, so if you don't like your sweets super sweet I would recommend either going light with those or skipping the drizzle altogether. I tried the brownies before the drizzle topping and did not like them; with the drizzle, they are sooo good (and look nice, too). I brought them to a family gathering, and I have already had people ask me to make these for other events. These are very rich, and generally loved, but they won't convert the peanut butter haters.

Very good. I took others' advice and made a few changes. I used 8 Tbsp butter, but will probably use some applesauce instead of the extra butter next time. To deal with the sweetness complaint, I used all-natural peanut butter, and I didn't think the bars were too sweet. I used semi-sweet chips and peanut butter chips instead of milk choc. Overall, very good. Would probably be better with some walnuts. Will probably keep tweaking because I think it has potential to be fabulous.
