Peanut butter and chocolate is hands down my favorite dessert combination. Don’t get me wrong, I like plenty of other combinations, but this one will always be at the top of my list. There’s just something about the earthy, slightly salty taste of creamy peanut butter mixed with melt-in-your-mouth rich chocolate that does it for me every single time.

Now, we’ve done our fair share of peanut butter chocolate desserts around here, from the decadent Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake to these easy, 5-Ingredient Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars, but now I’m here for something classic and simple – Chewy Peanut Butter Brownies.

These beautiful brownies take about ten minutes to whip up, making them the perfect snack for any last-minute occasions. Of course, they are the perfect snack for just your family as well. And if you happen to eat most of them before the kiddos get to them? Well, I won’t tell anyone. No judgment here.

Start by mixing your wet ingredients – butter, peanut butter, white and brown sugar, and eggs. Once everything is nice and creamy, mix together your dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Aside from your standard flour and baking powder, the dry ingredients include a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. Both spices bring out the earthy notes of the peanut butter while complimenting the rich, semi-sweet chocolate topping.

Pour your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients and mix until combined. At this point, you can fold in some chocolate chips if you want, but left the brownie part plain for this first batch. Next time I make these, I may add in M&Ms to the brownie batter and sprinkle a few on top of the chocolate coating before it dries.

All that’s left to do is spread the batter into your prepared baking dish and bake at 350 for around 30 minutes. Once cooled, warm up your chocolate chips in the microwave and spread over top the brownies! If you love peanut butter and chocolate as much as I do, then you have to try this recipe!
