For Chocnut lovers: Choco-Peanut Fudge Brownies
MANILA, Philippines — Chocolate and nuts go well together. This is why most brownies are mixed with chopped nuts, but this Choco-Peanut Fudge Brownies with Peanut Glaze brownie recipe is different.
It combines the indulgent flavors of chocolate and peanut, but draws its peanut flavor from crumbly choco-peanut candies (Chocnut is one of the popular brands) and from creamy peanut butter so as to not overpower the taste of chocolate.
What’s more: It comes with a delightful peanut glaze. Try baking a batch of these delicious brownies and taste the difference.
