Sometimes, you just have to have chocolate. I had one of those days last week. I made a dish with some spice in it for dinner, and I wasn't in the mood to exert a lot of effort in order to get chocolate. I just wanted to eat it. And soon. Fortunately, I had one box of brownie mix tucked away in the cupboard and I did not have to wait long for gratification. Does this even count as a recipe? I doubt it, but it was just what I was craving.Cheater Peanut Butter Brownies
Brownie mix, prepared as directed
Peanut butter
Prepare brownie mix and spread into pan. Glop peanut butter all over the brownie mix. Take a knife to swirl throughout. You'll end up with lovely pockets of thick peanut butter throughout. Bake as directed on the package and devour half the pan.
Variations:
If you are slightly more patient, you could warm the peanut butter slightly, spoon or pipe it into neat rows, and make a more uniform/beautiful marble pattern. I've heard you "eat with your eyes first," but my tummy wanted chocolate immediately.
PB & J Brownies: Same as above, but glob and swirl your jam/jelly of choice as well.
What's your favorite go-to in a chocolate crisis?

These look great! PB + chocolate = Heaven.
My easy go to chocolate recipe would have to be my mom's pudding pie. One big box of Cook n' Serve pudding in a graham cracker shell. Pretty damn good.
OMG, I'm so making PB & J brownies tonight!!!
Laura: Pudding pie sounds amazing. My easiest chocolate fix is the occasional snack pack, but that sounds much better!
NikiTheo: Let me know how they turn out! I made raspberry jam brownies for my mom and she loved them (she doesn't care for peanut butter)!
Oh what a delicious idea!
PB & Chocolate is the most heavenly and comforting combo :)
Oh those look SOOO good!! I love PB and chocolate!!
Marta and Jennifer: I'm with both of you on that! I have to avoid buying Reeses and PB M&Ms, because they disappear too quickly.
Of course it counts as a recipe! I'm a self-professed chocoholic :)
I was looking for a quick recipe such as this...Thanks so much! Im going to try making them tonight :)
I like the fact that I must eat half the pan. Perfect:)
