"My family enjoys these moist, rich brownies. They freeze well and pack well for picnics, road trips, and lunch boxes - and can nip a chocolate craving in the bud!"

I made these brownies on 5/12/10 for the Farm Event in the Cooking Photo Forum. I followed the recipe exactly as it was written, but I wasn't really happy with the end results. To me the taste was sort of bland, couldn't taste either the peanut butter or the chocolate. And they really weren't that moist. I really don't think that these are going to be made again. But thank you for taking time to post this recipe. " Keep Smiling :) "
