Candy Cane Peanut Butter Brownies / Giveaway #CandyCaneHacks

By 20 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I have for you a chocolaty holiday treat that is sure to please brownie lovers and peanut butter lovers of all kinds, it’s my Candy Cane Peanut Butter Brownies! I teamed up Peanut Butter Co. to show you that flavors that you don’t think would go together actually do. I was a little bit skeptical about peppermint and peanut butter going together, but you know what? It does! It’s a crazy combo that shocked me when I took my first bite!
Candy Cane Peanut Butter Brownies
The brownies are light, moist, super chocolaty and the peanut butter frosting on top is to die for. I couldn’t stop eating it. I also took candy canes, crushed them and sprinkled them on top. They are pretty, a crowd pleaser and so perfect for the holidays. Who would have thought peanut butter and peppermint go together?
