Peanut Butter Swirled Brownies

A few weeks ago I was sent a subscription box from Taffy Mail. They are an american candy subscription company and they wanted me to make a recipe using some of the items from the box. There was so much to choose from but three items jumped out at me. They were all peanut butter based (one of my favorites) and the recipe I came up with was these Peanut Butter Swirled Brownies!

This post is in collaboration with Taffy Mail, read my full disclaimer here.

These Brownies turned out super yummy but don’t take my word for it, get baking them now!

I used smooth peanut butter but you could change things up by using crunchy peanut butter or using different peanut butter candy, peanut butter cups are a favourite of mine! But, I do love the colour from the peanut butter M&M’s. 

If anyone would like to pop round for a brownie though, please do! Mason won’t eat these as he doesn’t like things that look “mixed up” and although Shaun will eat a sandwich spread thick with peanut butter, he doesn’t like it baked into things and he hates peanut butter cups (makes me wonder why I married him *jokes*). So it’s just me (and baby) who is going to eat them.

Do you get any Chocolate/sweet subscription boxes? And have you ever thought about using their contents in a recipe to make your treats stretch further? Taffy mail have loads of great recipes to help you do this! Let me know if you give this recipe a try, you can share it on social media and tag @makesbakesanddecor to be sure I see it!
