Peanut Butter Ribbon Fudge Brownies

I saw this recipe for Peanut Butter Ribbon Fudge Brownies recently on Anna’s blog Cookie Madness.  Her blog is full of delicious cookie recipes, and she’s always posting something I can’t wait to try.

Quick sidenote:  Here is Anna’s recipe for Baked Spinach and Chicken Stuffing that won her $1,000,000(!!) as the Grand Prize in the 2006 Pillsbury Bake-off.  In fact, she’s such a star that her name was a clue on Jeopardy last week.  How cool is that?!  She’s my new hero.

So back to the brownies….I decided to make these brownies to bring to a Superbowl party over the weekend.  The base recipe creates a very fudgy (as opposed to cake-like) brownie (which I love).  I imagine it could be used for all kinds of fabulous brownie variations and concoctions.  This brownie base is my new go-to recipe whenever I want to make brownies.  The peanut butter ribbons add a rich peanut butter flavor, and are simple to make.  If you love chocolate and peanut butter, then you will love these brownies!  Also, if you are used to making brownies from a prepackaged mix, then I urge you to try making these from scratch.  It’s really easy, and the results are totally worth it!  Sorry for the lack of photos….I forgot to take a picture before we headed out to watch the Superbowl.  Hope y’all had a great weekend!
