Ok, these may not sound amazing. But they are a true melt-in-your-mouth goodness. And who needs to deal with flour, baking soda, and all that needless calorie adding junk?

I'm thinking you could add chocolate chips or peanut butter chips and it would add to the fantasticness!

TRY THEM.

Peanut Butter Brownie Dessert*

*Definitely not diet-friendly.
Definitely worth it!

Ingredients:
1 box family size brownies (chocolate chunk is an excellent choice for this recipe!) + ingredients to make brownies
1/2-2/3 cups reese peanut butter chips
1 (8oz) block cream cheese
1/2 c creamy peanut butter
1 (8oz) tub whipped topping
1 cup powdered sugar
2 T mini chocolate chips

Mix brownies as directed on back. Add 1/2 cup peanut butter chips and mix well. Spread into 9x13 (or large round bakeware). Bake until middle is set. Cool completely.
Meanwhile beat cream cheese, peanut butter and powdered sugar until creamy. Fold in whipped cream. Spread mixture over brownie. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. (Peanuts too, if desired). Chill for an hour before serving.

This is my new very favorite "pie" (I call it pie because i bake it in a round pan so it doesn't get called cake. It will be served at Thanksgiving this year. Guaranteed.

Peanut Butter Pie*

*This recipe has no health/weight loss benefit. It comes to you in honor of my friend Rachel --who has lost it more times than any human can count-- may she always find it here.



Ingredients:
1 pkg (8oz) cream cheese, softened
3/4 c confectioners' sugar
3/4 c creamy or chunky peanut butter
6 T milk
1 carton (8oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 graham cracker crust
1/4 c peanuts (optional)

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add sugar and peanut butter; mix well. Gradually add the milk. Fold in whipped topping; spoon into crust. Sprinkle with peanuts if desired. Chill overnight.

For added taste I sometimes melt about 1/2 cup chocolate chips and add a tiny bit of oil. Then I cut it into the top of the pie to make it appear marbled. I then freeze the pie. Take it out a few minutes before serving. This is perfect for chocolate peanut butter lovers!
