Peanut Butter Fleur de Sel Brownies

I found this recipe on pinterest and I changed up the recipe a little to make it easier.

These brownies are amazing. Your going to want to try them.

Chocolate fudgey brownies with peanut butter frosting on top and topped with sea salt.

It is a really good combination especially if you are a chocolate peanut butter lover like me :)

What you'll need:

For the Brownies:

 10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) butter (room temperature)
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cold large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

For the Frosting:

6 Tablespoons (3/4 stick) softened butter
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon Maldon or Fleur de Sel (to top)

What to do:

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.

Combine room temperature butter, cocoa, and sugar in a bowl. Mix well until combined.

Add eggs and continue mixing.

Mix in vanilla and add flour until combined.

Spread the batter evenly in a greased pan.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until you stick a toothpick in it and it comes out clean.

 Wait for the brownies to cool completely before you add the frosting. If you put frosting on even if they are a little warm, it will melt.

To prepare the frosting, cream the butter and the peanut butter until combined. Slowly stir in the powdered sugar until completely incorporated. (If for some reason it is too thick, add a splash of milk, if it is too thin, add more powdered sugar)

Top with fleur de sel and enjoy! :)
