P.B.K. Brownies

This weeks guest post comes from Sara DeLeeuw, author of blog My Imperfect Kitchen, with her P.B.K. Brownies. I have already made these brownies and could not stop eating them! 

We started our third bowling season last night. It has become something of a tradition for me to bring snacks to our weekly games.  Truthfully, I do it because I can’t bowl.  Not even remotely well. I couldn’t break 100 if I used bumpers.  My scores last night were 77, 79 and 69.  Yeahhhh don’t quit my day job, right?  You may feel sorry for my team, but don’t!  They eat very well.  Yesterday I made PBK (Peanut Butter Krispy) Brownie Bars to kick off our season.  This recipe is a variation of BrownEyedBaker’s Better Than Crack Brownies and they are very addicting!   After all, who doesn’t love chocolate and peanut butter?  Consider yourself warned, you may never go back to regular brownies again.  I’m setting the bar pretty high on bowling snacks with these!   They are easy to put together, and trust me, they are worth every delicious bite!
