My husband, kiddingly reminded me I had not baked in 3 days, which is an incredibly long time for me. Our girl,Gracie has been keeping us busy and the time flies by. I am not sure how people with kids do it, or people with kids and pets! 😃

“Am I getting some of that peanut butter treat?”)

So today I went with a semi homemade treat. That’s what I call a treat when I use a mix.

Brownie cookie ingredients -1 brownie mix, 1 egg,1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup oil, 5 tbs water, 1/4 cup hot fudge (microwaved for 15 seconds)

Peanut butter filling ingredients – 1cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup butter, 4 tbs brown sugar, 1 cup powdered sugar, milk (optional).

PB filling ingredients – melt butter and peanut butter. Add brown sugar and powdered sugar. Add a tbs or two of milk if you think mixture is a little dry. Roll into balls. Put in fridge.

Brownie directions – preheat oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with nonstick baking liners. Combine all cookie ingredients. Scoop out 1/4 cup of dough and stagger on lined cookie sheets. Bake 13-15 minutes. Immediately place a peanut butter ball on each cookie. Cool completely.

Topping ingredients – 1cup milk chocolate chips, 1 tbs shortening

Combine and microwave in 45 second increments until you can stir smooth. Pour on top of each cookie, using a spoon.

Store in covered container.
