Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup boxed brownie mix
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Stir or beat until smooth and slightly glossy.
- Gradually add the flour and salt. Mix until the dough comes together without dry streaks.
- Fold in the brownie mix gently to maintain streaks and pockets of fudge.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
For a nuttier texture, use crunchy peanut butter; for a gluten-free option, swap the all-purpose flour for a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour.
