Peanut Butter Brownies

     Hello, viewers.

     Yesterday, I had a sudden craving for brownies, and, after flipping through a cookbook, found a basic recipe for peanut butter brownies.  I altered the recipe a bit, according to taste and necessity.

• 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter (chunky would be fine as well)
• 1/4 cup nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread)
• 1/3 cup butter
• 2 - 3 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (I was out of brown sugar, so I used 1/2 cup regular sugar, and 1/4 cup molasses)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt

     Combine peanut butter, nutella, cocoa and butter in a large mixing bowl, blending well.  Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy.  Add eggs, beating well.  Stir in almond extract.

     In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.  Add to creamed mixture; stir well.  Spread mixture evenly in a greased 9-inch square pan.  Bake at 350 degrees F.  for 30 to 35 minutes.  Cool completely in pan before cutting.

     I am sorry to say, viewers, that due to some sort of technical difficulty my blog is experiencing, I am unable to post pictures at the moment, so you'll have to use your imaginations, and take my word for it that these look delicious.

     This also unfortunately means that I shall be unable to post any more of my "global adventures" for the time being.  Such a pity...  Hopefully the technical difficulty, whatever it is, will work itself out soon.

     In the meantime, have a lovely day, viewers.
