Brownies on Steroids.

The title says it all...because by "Brownies on Steroids", I mean very chocolaty with a touch of tofee and peanut butter goodness. These are no regular brownie!

And, if you are in need of a treat for a chocolate-lover in your life, this might be the answer! I bookmarked this recipe months ago and finally had an opportunity to give it a try and I'm so glad I did!

Brownies on Steroids

(adapted from Inn Cruises who got it from Andon-Reed Perspectives)

1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup powered sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa
3/4 cup butter
14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided)
1 cup pecans
1 cup English toffee bits

1 cup peanut butter chips

Combine flour, sugar and cocoa. Add the butter and mix. Mixture will be dry. Press firmly into a greased 9x13 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

While the crust is baking, combine condensed milk, vanilla and 1 cup of chocolate chips in a medium saucepan. Heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth. Remove crust from oven and pour chocolate mixture over crust. Sprinkle with pecans, toffee bits, and peanut butter chips. Press down to sink the pecans, toffee bits, and peanut butter chips into the chocolate mixture. Bake for another 18-20 minutes.

Pretty easy, huh!? These bars received rave reviews and several people have asked for the recipe. Judging from that I'd say these deem repeating!

Hurry and try these because I have another chocolate bar recipe on its way!
