Baking Ban Lifted...for a very worthy cause!

Last week I felt the need to bake desperately, and over the past few days I have really begun to struggle again.  Today, however, the ban was lifted. 

While you might think that I am overjoyed by my return to baking...I am actually breaking my ban to help one of my really close friends.  She's recently become single again and I'm heading down to sotuh London to spend the weekend with her...

Of course this calls for the creation of something sweet and soft and chewy and fattening!

Earlier this week Karen at Food Gourmand had me salivating over her Chocolate Mascarpone Brownies and on closer investigation I saw her link to an earlier post for Peanut Butter Brownies

WOW OH WOW!

This afternoon (when the butter was finally soft) I dusted off the Kitchen Aid and gave the bowl a good wipe out and got down to business!



oh wow!



mix mix mix



PB in...Kraft all the way from Canada!



et voila...



Soft, chewy and peanut buttery!

 

In Karine's recipe she adds chocolatey ganache over top but I am just not ready for that much sweet!

Brownies? Blondies? You decide!

    These look positively delightful! My husband loves peanut butter cookies, so this would be something he would love for me to bake.

    It is cruel and unusualy punnishment to make me look at these before I've even had my lunch! In all seriousness, those look amazing. I am officially drooling.
