In case you didn’t know, Trader Joe’s has the BEST boxed brownie mix on the market. It’s been tested. I had a craving for a peanut butter chocolate treat the other day and came across some brand new peanut butter chips at Trader Joe’s. Such is the tale of a marriage made in heaven. I threw together some homemade peanut butter frosting and voila, the peanut butter brownie hack was born. I hope you enjoy this super easy treat and let me know what twists you might decide to put on it!
