I followed the recipe exactly. The batter is thicker than a regular brownie batter, but I had no problem spreading it in the pan. I baked it for 35 min and turned out great. I melted choc chips on top. I like that it uses whole wheat flour - a little less carbs. My husband and I thought they were good, chewy, but not quite enough PB flavour. I think I would like to add PB chips to it next time. If you don't like a really sweet brownie, these are for you.

these were ok. My brothers liked them but I don't think these had enough flavor. They also had this weird slide down your throat texture. I probably won't make these again.

I use a stick of margarine (1/2 C), 1/3 C white sugar, 1 C brown sugar, flour the same, but add approx 1/3 C combined of ground flax and wheat meal - to sneak in some more nutrients & make up for the extra buttery flavor! I like to experiment with recipes - this one has great "bones" and lends well to it!

Better than a PB&J! I always use butter, and natural PB. The batter is thick, but they bake up moist and chewy. I loved that they weren't too sweet- a great alternative to a chocolate brownie, and one that the kids can eat more than one of without bouncing off the walls!

I used crunchy natural peanut butter, white whole wheat flour, and flipped the sugars to use more brown sugar. I added a good dose of vanilla and threw in chocolate and peanut butter chips and baked in a 10 x 10 pan. They were eaten within a couple of days and more have been requested. Next time, I'll add a bit more PB and use all whole wheat flour and more peanut butter chips. *update* Made again and used all white whole wheat flour, 6 TBS butter, 1 TBSP vanilla, omitted the water, added an additional 1/4 c PB, and added chopped Snickers. Oh my! They are delicious!!!

Good - not terribly sweet. I added chocolate chips, and feel this was essential - brownies wouldn't have been sweet at all without them. Nice, dense texture. I substituted almond extract for the vanilla, and wouldn't recommend this. The almond overpowered the natural peanut butter I used.

I made these on Mother's Day & they were incredible, even my husband really liked them & he never likes sweet stuff like this. I made just a few tiny changes however. I made it a 1/2 cup of butter instead of the margarine, I made it a 1/2 cup of white sugar & a 1/2 cup of brown sugar & just white flour since that is what I had on hand. I frosted them as well but I think they would have been just as yummy without any. They were very chewy, sweet & moist ( like a brownie should be)...this is my first reveiw, I just had to say how great these were! (:

I make the chewy peanut butter brownie recipe from this site all the time, and decided to try this one today. I actually like it more than the other. I think the wheat flour actually enhances the flavor. I was going to drizzle them with melted chocolate, and then my son asked it he could just dunk his in the chocolate, so we ended up dunking them instead of drizzling. Huge hit!
