Peanut Butter Frosting For Brownies

As a mother and grandmother busy, I did not always have time to cook from scratch. When I'm in a hurry, I'll reach for a box of brownie mix. Yes, I think when you make them from scratch, they taste better, but sometimes it's just not possible to spend 2 hours of cooking.

When I use box mixes, I usually add goodies to make it even better. With us, the more goodies I can load into the dough, the better.

Before I begin, I would like to share with you some important tips.

1. Do not overmix the dough. It is normal to have some small pieces.

2. Do not overcook. Remove the pan from the oven at the recommended time. They finish cooking in the pan.

3. Let cool before cutting into squares. square Store in airtight container.
