Peanut Caramel Fudge Brownies (Video)

Peanut Caramel Fudge Brownies: Rich and fudgy cocoa brownies filled with pockets of peanut butter and swirled with homemade caramel sauce. These brownies are very rich and not for the faint of heart. If you like chocolate, peanut butter and caramel, then these are definitely for you!

Notice anything….. LCB is sporting a new look! I’m still ironing out all the kinks and deciding on a final design for the new look of  the blog. do you like it? I like the look better than before but I’m still not happy with the look yet so hopefully by the end of the week I will have the final design. 

Suggestions and feedback is welcome. So if you have a flair for design, comment below!

Back to these dark, rich and fudgy brownies. Seriously, if you don’t like chocolate, these are not for you.

I used my Rich Cocoa Brownies recipe for the base of these brownies. I love that recipe because they turn out perfect every single time and they are so simple to make.

You can use any peanut butter in these brownies but I prefer using an all natural 100% peanuts peanut butter. I just prefer the taste, texture and not having all the unnecessary additives in my peanut butter but any brand or style of peanut butter will do. 

For the caramel swirl I used my Salted Caramel Sauce recipe but didn’t add the salt. I like that caramel recipe because its easy and pretty much fool proof. You can use store bought caramel if you wish but if you have an extra 5 minutes I recommend making your own.

How is your New Year going so far? I have been busy baking up storm and watching movies. I watched Spy again for like the tenth time. That movie never ceases to make me laugh and amazingly it wasn’t a horror!
