Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

This is a Simply Saturday masterpiece.

Like most masterpieces, this one was born of someone else's idea and chance. The chance was because Sam's Club had a two-pack of Reese's Peanut Butter Chips for $4.18....

They jumped into my cart when I wasn't looking, the scamps!

And then they had the audacity to have a recipe on the back. Well, we pondered that recipe, and then decided it didn't have enough chocolate.

I mean, really....  The whole purpose of the chip is to be immersed in chocolate, right?

So we (I use that term loosely, Beth does not cook... She does own a stove. It's ridiculously clean.) devised a recipe....  Easy-peasy. And it's a five star, no lie.... Not even a HINT of EXAGGERATION.

With no further adieu, I give you:

Fudgy Peanut Butter Chip Brownies:

Our Assistant Chef of the Day is Elijah.... Note the cracked eggs.  The kid is QUICK.

RECIPE
1 large (13 x 9") box Pillsbury Brownie Mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
2 eggs
Chocolate syrup for drizzle
1/2 bag (more is never a bad thing) Reeses Peanut Butter Chips
1/2 cup Peanut butter

Mix together brownie mix, oil, water and eggs as stated on box. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom only of 13 x 9" pan.

Spread brownie batter in pan...

Drizzle with Hershey's syrup, making a ribbon-type pattern.




Now drop teaspoons full of peanut butter all over the top of the brownie mix.  Do the same with the peanut butter chips...





Now drizzle with syrup again:



Take time to lick the spoon....


Bake at 350 degrees for about 30-34 minutes....

And here's the finished product!!!



And the plated version:  (which did not last long!!!)


Preparation time was maybe 8 minutes, really....

Baking time around 31-32 minutes....

And eating time???

SUPER FAST!!!
