Yesterday was Valentine's day and while I don't wholeheartedly support such a consumeristic holiday (but aren't they all?) I do love an opportunity to remind my husband how much I love him. February is a love month for us though, because his birthday is on the last day of the month, which is a whole other lovefest! I wrote sweet notes and left little chocolates around the house for him in the two week leading up to V-day, so on the 14th I had to pull out a few extra stops, namely the book he'd be eyeing up recently and his favourite, fudgy brownies and peanut butter. Together! This recipe was absolutely perfect since it was a marriage of the two, a classic brownie with a peanut butter frosting. He loved them, and so did everyone at my work who got half a pan of leftovers. I thought these were especially good straight out of the fridge. Do what you like!Baking notes:
-I thought the brownies were a tad dry even though I took them out at 18 minutes, rather than 20. Next time I'd check them at 16.5 or 17 minutes.
-The peanut butter frosting was good, but a little boring. Next time I would incorporate cream cheese into the frosting for a little extra interest.
The recipe for Chocolate Brownies with Peanut Butter Frosting can be found on the epicurious website.
