In all honesty, I never saw my mom make this…I have never had this…but OMG, this is right up my alley, and likely was made for my dad (who was a big peanut butter fan).
I just can’t imagine this not working — it has brownies (you don’t have to even do them from scratch, you can totally just plop a box mix in a pan and move on with your life) — it has cream cheese and peanut butter! Drool!
And did I mention it was easy to make? No cooking, no freezing — just cool the brownies. Honestly! And if you have a little cupcake corer, you can make these into delightful little self contained treats.
