Gooey Peanut Butter Brownies with Carob Chips

Gooey Peanut Butter Brownies with Carob Chips

Craving some bar cookies, I went into the kitchen and whipped up this gooey blondie mixture with carob chips. Nice moist brownies are always a treat, and the peanut butter and carob paired well in this recipe. Served with a steaming cup of tea or coffee, every bite will be savoured.

These brownies are very easy to prepare, and quite honestly, the clean-up time is more exacting than the preparation.

I remember eating carob from our local health food store when I was just a kid. My parents were way ahead of their time. They would be delicious in your bars Lisa.

You're right, Lisa. A strong cuppa tea or a glass of red would be perfect foils for the supremely sweet richness of these goodies. And isn't it always nice to have an appreciative male audience to eat the spoils of your kitchen legerdemain?

Thanks so much for treating SHF to your recipe! We're an appreciative audience, too. : )
