I have yet to try the Joanna Gaines -- Southern Living -- Lucy's recipe for Magnolia Brownies, but it's on my list. The marshmallow frosting is intriguing! But I do have a list of favorite Peanut Butter Brownies! The first and second both start with brownie mix and the last two are scratch. So let's get started.
#1. The Duncan Hines Extreme Peanut Butter Brownie recipe is super easy and very good. To be honest, I didn't expect doctored brownie mix peanut butter brownies to be that great, but these were surprisingly awesome. At one point the recipe was on the Duncan Hines USA site, but now I can only find it on Canada's site.
#2. I will never get tired of these Marshmallow Krispie Topped Brownies. They're a little over-the-top, but that's fine by me.
#3. No surprise here given the source. Dorie Greenspan's Peanut Butter Fudge Brownie are excellent scratch peanut butter topped chocolate brownies.
And then there's this one which I haven't made in a while but is very tasty, Peanut Butter Marble Brownies. These are different because the base is actually a peanut butter brownie with a chocolate marble section baked in, and a chocolate ganache swirled through the peanut butter topping.
There are a lot more where these came from, but the ones on the list were the first to come to mind. If you're still on the hunt, check the side bar.

Peanut butter + chocolate = best combination ever. Thank you for yet another brilliant idea for this!!!

I love brownies with peanut butter! YUM!

I have yet to bake a batch of brownies that are better than a Pillsbury mix. In fact, I just took a pan out of the oven, which I enhanced with walnuts & a creamy, chocolate icing. Mahvelous!

A little yin and yang is always nice. 😉
I love those rice crispy ones--if you like pb/chocolate--it just gets better with crispies and mallow.
Erin
Nom nom nom nom those look so awesome!

In theory I don't have a problem with boxed products, but because I don't get to bake often I always like to do things from scratch 🙂 and we also don't always have the same products here :). Regardless, PB + Chocolate brownies will probably be making an appearance on my Thanksgiving menu, and my family will worship me afterwards :). Thanks for the idea :).
Oh and as Gloria pointed out, we enjoy when you ramble, hell if I'm not rambling I'm probably sleeping (though I have been known to talk in my sleep too :)).

In spite of usually doing only baked from scratch, I think I could eat the Duncan Hines brownie if there was ganache instead of their frosting on top. It's good enough for the Emmys, so it should be good enough for me. 🙂

I agree with Josie -- this is killing me. 🙂 Brownies and peanut butter with a chocolate topping, is there anything better?
Josie
You are killing me. PB and chocolate is my weakness. My OB is going to shame me once I make these and devour the whole batch. This monthly weigh-in during pregnancy is really cramping my style!
Gloria
I enjoy your rambling..I do the same thing sometimes!... At least here you are among friends-when I used to ramble to my coworkers about baking related technical issues related to what I brought in for them to try, I would watch eyes become glassy and glazed over! I love chocolate and peanut butter together, but I haven't had a brownie with it yet. I'm more of a salty peanut butter with chocolate fan. I wonder if the brownies with taste okay if the peanut butter didn't have any sugar in it? As a matter of fact I think I may try it that way and find out! I hope the weather is better in California than it is here-we had frost last night!
