    Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting - Peanut Butter Nutella Flavor are super moist brownies, oh so chewy, full of flavor and the best cream cheese frosting!

    Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting 

    There are days when I need something sweet and these Peanut Butter Nutella Brownies with Cream Cheese Icing are always just what the doctor ordered! You can add more or less nutella or peanut butter just as long as the total amount does not exceed 1 cup.

    On days when I want more peanut butter I add it or if I am out of one or the other I use what I have!  As long as I have one cup I know I am good to go!  You get the idea!

    I just can't get enough of this icing either!  Am I the only one who loves cream cheese icing?  I just can't be.  I think I could eat anything covered in it.  Well almost anything  I hate to admit it but it's true!

    Peanut Butter Brownies 

    On days when I feel like peanut butter brownies that will be all that I add to this recipe. I just skip the Nutella altogether and end up with a delightful, mouth watering, moist and flavorful chocolate peanut butter brownie.

    That being said, I find that Nutella and peanut butter go beautifully together and I always encourage everyone to make sure they add both to this recipe. 

    You have 1 cup total to work with and there are days I use more peanut butter and on others more Nutella. Usually, I grab a 1 cup measuring cup and start to fill it with one and finish off the cup with the other.

    Peanut Butter Nutella Brownies with Cream Cheese Icing are perfect for any occasion.  Sometimes I make them just for me but more often than not I make this dessert for special occasions!  They are always such a big hit!

    I also love my Chewy Cream Cheese Brownies.  No peanut butter and no Nutella but boy oh boy are they tasty too!  The cream cheese swirl throughout the brownie makes them so addictive and fabulous in their own right!

    My son learned to make these Peanut Butter Nutella Brownies with Cream Cheese Icing when he was young and still makes them to this day!  I think he knows the recipe by heart he has made it so often!

    You can decorate the top of these Peanut Butter Nutella Brownies with Cream Cheese Icing with anything or nothing at all.  I have even written a happy birthday message on top!

    This recipe is a definite keeper.  I have given this recipe out so many times, too many to count!  You have to see the recipe below to see just how easy this is to make and you will not believe it!
