Reviews: 

“Lexi made peanut butter pudding frosting brownies. She spread a mixture of peanut butter vanilla pudding mix and sugar. I am not a fan of the peanut butter pudding frosting it was very granular.” -Sarah Sabine

“I was presently surprised when I tastes the fudgy brownies with peanut butter pudding frosting. They had a deep chocolatey fudge taste that was complimented nicely by the peanut butter pudding frosting. They were so good I ate all three of them!” Dan Sabine

“The process was quite easy although it takes a lot of time. The brownies must be in the oven for about 25 minutes and need to be refrigerated with the peanut butter pudding frosting for about thirty minutes or until firm, so this takes quite a bit of time. Even though it took some time the results made up for it! I did forget to pam the pan before I put the brownie mix in so this made it very difficult to cut out, so if you make the same mistake I did than I suggest not wasting anymore time by using a chizzle. This was the only road block I encountered. Otherwise this was a pretty easy recipe. I personally love peanut butter, so any desert with peanut butter in it I will love. The brownies were perfectly cooked and melted right in your mouth. ” -AWhisenant16

Cautions:

• PAM the pan!
