Whatever you do...do not try to eat these until they have sat in the fridge overnight. Once they have chilled properly you get chocolate magic!

These brownies were such a hit at our family labor day party this year. I did, however, take a shortcut and used a boxed brownie mix. I also used chunky peanut butter and it all worked beautifully. I will keep this recipe on file forever and ever.

These were good but extremely rich the brownies I took what other reviewers had said and cooked them a bit less which worked well. I used milk chocolate as this was for children and thought that would work better for their tastebuds. They loved them but as an adult I found them really sweet just a nibble was good we cut them very small just a little nibble.

I love sea salt and peanut butter (especially with chocolate so I was very excited to try my hand at this recipe. I consider myself a pretty good cook and can follow a recipe perfectly, but this one did not pan out for me. First, it is pretty labor intensive and I was just not overly impressed with the results. I like the peanut butter filling and the ganache but the brownies were very dry and not like brownies to me -- almost like a cookie (and I only baked them for 25 minutes per other reviews. So, if I am craving these flavors again, I will stick to my yummy and super easy peanut butter pie recipe I often do from Cooking Light.

After reading the reviews, we decided to make a few changes and they are definately a 5 star now. We used 2 packages of ghiradelli chocolate chunck brownies, in a 9 x 13 baking dish. The brownies were very moist and chewy. Our 2nd adjustment was using Chocolate ganache made with dark chocolate chips and whipping cream instead of butter and a little vanilla extract. They are soooo yummy.

I love this recipe. I suggest reducing the cocoa to 2/3 c. so it is less bitter. I had to do this the 2nd time I made them b/c I ran out of cocoa. I ended up liking it better. I also use pretzels instead of peanuts on the peanut butter layer. I like the square shaped ones. I cut the brownies into little bars, do the PB layer, put on a pretzel, then cover it in chocolate. It looks and tastes like a restaurant pastry! I love this recipe!

These are the best brownies ever. Everyone I have made them for whole heartedly agree. They are time consuming but well worth the effort. I often make them without the peanuts.

My 13-year-old daughter and I made these recently. I had to whisk the chocolate mixture into the butter over the double boiler for a very long time before it turned "fudgy". We also cooked the brownie for only 25 minutes, instead of the recommended 30-35. This resulted in a chewy and delicious brownie. Once assembled and cut into squares, we occasionally had the ganache separate from the peanut butter filling, but ultimately, this was the best brownie we have ever had. Absolutely LOVED it!
