As a kid, I loved peanut butter brownies, but my adult taste buds find the available recipes overly sweet with a mild peanut flavor. This updated peanut butter chocolate chip brownie recipe relies on powdered peanuts to boost peanut flavor. I've reduced the sugar by about one-third from the typical recipes. This recipe reflects the best of the three variations that I attempted.
