Servings: 12 Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix prepared according to package directions*
- 1-½ cups sugar
- 7 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 2 tablespoons margarine
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Prepare brownies according to package directions and allow to cool completely before beginning icing.
For the Icing
- In a heavy saucepot, combine the sugar, milk, shortening, margarine, and salt. Bring to a rolling boil while stirring constantly.
- Once it reaches a rolling boil, stop stirring and let it boil for two minutes or until it reaches the soft ball stage (I don't use a thermometer, I just let it boil for two minutes).
- Remove from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla and peanut butter. Beat until smooth and quickly spread over the brownies.
