Yummy but rich. I would cut the amount of peanut butter as well. I used Heath Bar pieces on top instead of nuts.

My whole family loved this! It is very sweet but it's excellent!

I love all of the ingredients with this recipe, but I agree that the pudding/peanut butter mix kind of overpowered the brownie. Also, my suggestion is to melt the chocolate and then add it to the (thawed) Cool Whip. It is never a good idea to microwave Cool Whip!!

Great Brownie recipe! A little time consuming, but well worth it. Will make this again for all to enjoy!

I made this for my son's wedding rehearsal dinner. The only tip I might add is to coarse chop the Baker's chocolate squares, it helps them to melt better in the microwave. There was none left in the pan and several people asked for the recipe.

Great desert. Take your time when you cook the chocolate and whip cream. If you try to do it too fast you will scorch the chocotate.

Anything that includes both chocolate & peanut butter is a winner with me. I made these brownies and my family loved them! I didn't have any chocolate squares so melted chocolate chips instead. I will make this recipe again & again. Everyone wanted the recipe!

Very easy and rich. We love peanut butter, but even these had too much. Next time I will only use 1/2C-3/4C. The peanut butter overpowers the chocolate.
