Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies

I made these brownies for my brother and his girlfriend when they went to college, and I was actually very pleased with the results! They are really simple, (especially since they use a brownie mix) and very tasty. I hope you like them! Happy Eating! :) 




                    Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies

         Brownie Layer:
                             1 milk chocolate brownie mix
                           
Follow the instructions on the brownie mix to make a 9x13 pan, and let them cool. Meanwhile, prepare the icing.

        Peanut Butter Icing:
                            1/2 cup softened butter
                            1 cup creamy peanut butter
                            2 cups powdered sugar
                            3-4 tablespoons of milk
                           splash of vanilla
                            
In a mixer, whip the butter and peanut butter together until smooth, and well blended. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, then slowly add the milk until the consistency you want is reached. Add in the vanilla, and beat for 3 minutes on medium speed. Spread onto the cooled brownies. 
Melt 1/2-3/4 of a cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. Cut a small hole in the corner of a Ziploc sandwich bag, and pour the chocolate in. Gently squeeze it over the brownies to drizzle it. Put it into the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to harden. Cut into squares and enjoy! :)
