Notes

Always use all-natural creamy peanut butter for the best texture and flavor.
Don’t overmix the brownie batter once the flour is added to ensure fudgy results.
Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting for clean, neat slices.
Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.
