Peanut Butter Poke Cake Brownies Recipe

Brownies are one of my favorite desserts. Peanut butter is also at the top of my list. So why not combine the two? Thanks to this sponsored post by Kraft and Lunchbox, I have created this delicious Peanut Butter Poke Cake Brownies recipe found on the Walmart website. Since we made poke cake in the past, why not try poke brownies?

The kids are back in school, the holidays are coming up, and pre-season football games are already in full swing, so it’s time to start trying new dessert recipes. I chose to make the Peanut Butter Poke Cake Brownies because they sounded just heavenly. The recipe was among many other drool-worthy ones that I had to choose from. I cannot wait to try them, either!

We like poke cake, so why not poke brownies? Peanut butter poke cake brownies are super moist and delicious. 

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 40 minutes

Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients

• 36.8 oz brownie mix, 2 packages

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Make brownie batter per instructions on the box

4. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with crumbs (don't overbake)

1. Beat pudding mixes and milk in a medium bowl with a whisk for 2 minutes
2. Add 2/3 cup peanut butter and mix well

These brownies are delicious and the topping is just dreamy. I might use it as frosting for other desserts as well. Peanut butter frosting will be good on many different desserts.
