What a wonderful day!

What a wonderful day to be alive!

I hope you are doing well, friend.

I have been absent and neglecting my little dessert blog for quite a while. Isn't it amazing how life comes in the way, even with the best of intentions?

I have been making cheesecakes for a few friends lately, and I'm sad to say that's the extent of my bakery cakery skills right now. I'm just so busy with work or trying to find time to sleep and spend time with my family.

I will write when I can! Have a wonderful day!

Peanut Butter Layer Brownies

Here's the thing: I love Peanut Butter. I love Brownies. I figured...why not layer the two together? This recipe comes from a beloved restaurant of mine. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Whew, they're rich!


Peanut Butter Layer Brownies

1 box brownie mix

Prepare brownie mix as directed on box. Let cool.


2 cups pb
1 cup powdered sugar
1-2 cups heavy cream

Mix these three ingredients together to form a whipped peanut butter cream. It should be creamy and light. If you want it to be more fluffy and not as peanut buttery, reduce pb and add more heavy cream.

When creamy and whipped, spread in an even layer over brownies.


2-3 cups heavy cream
1/2cup - 1 cup powdered sugar

Whip cream and sugar until fluffy and light. Add enough sugar to make it sweet to your taste. The more cream you whip, the bigger the cream layer will be on the brownies! When whipped, spread evenly over the peanut butter layer.

Lastly, drizzle chocolate syrup over the top and sprinkle chopped peanuts or reeses cups if you wish. Enjoy!

Sorry for lack of pictures... I made these a few days ago and they were gone before I knew it. They are a big hit but VERY rich!!
