White Chocolate Peanut Butter Brookies
White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies atop a layer of fudgy brownies combine together to create these brownie/cookies = brookies!
A month ago I received a complimentary box of peanut butter from Peanut Butter and Co. and although I eat a TON of peanut butter, I knew I wanted to create something with one of the flavors in particular. (No, this is not a sponsored post.)
So I feel kind of guilty because I have seen these peanut butters in the store, but this is the first time I have tried them. One of the cool things I didn’t know, is that ALL of their peanut butters are all-natural. You can read EVERY ingredient on the label. I don’t know about you, but that makes me feel good!

I tried 5 flavors: Mighty Maple, White Chocolate Wonderful, The Bee’s Knees, Dark Chocolate Dreams, and Cinnamon Raisin Swirl. I think my favorite is The Bee’s Knees. It’s for sure my son’s favorite because he likes peanut butter and honey sandwiches, so honey in the peanut butter is a plus! I chose the White Chocolate Wonderful Peanut Butter for my recipe today because it just screams dessert to me!
Peanut butter blended with sweet white chocolate = delicious!
This peanut butter contains no cholesterol, no trans fats, no hydrogenated oils, and no high-fructose corn syrup. It is also gluten-free, certified vegan, and certified kosher pareve by the Orthodox Union. The shelf life is 6 months after opening, if stored in a cool, dry place, but who on earth doesn’t eat their peanut butter with the first week, uh, I mean month?!
I decided I wanted to play with the white chocolate in the peanut butter, so I made peanut butter cookie dough with white chocolate chips, and stacked it on top of a dark chocolate brownie mix to make brownies + cookies = brookies!
They took a while to bake, but they were worth it!

I love the white chocolate peanut butter! I have a whole jar of it, but am not imaginative enough to come up with enough things to use it in! So I must thank you for this recipe! I will be making this soon. 🙂
Glad I could help! 😉 Enjoy!
Love their white chocolate peanut butter! These brookies look like the perfect way to use it!
Thanks Jessica! I am crazy for all their peanut butters, but this one was fun to play with!
I’ve never had a brookie before. I see them all the time in stores but continue to walk past them. I think it’s high time I try this cookie brownie combo.
The white chocolate peanut butter is right up my ally. I love how you also incorporated white chocolate chips. Complete goodness. Pinned!
I’m not sure I’ve seen brookies at the store, but you definitely need to try them sometime! Thanks for pinning!
Okay, where has these awesome kinds of peanut butter been my whole life?! The half-full jar of plain ‘ol creamy peanut butter sitting in my fridge is looking pretty boring right about now. And these brookies!! 2 kinds of choc AND pb. YES. 😀
Yeah, I’m not sure I can go back to regular PB after this! Haha!
I LOVE Peanut Butter & Co. too. I can’t decide which one is my favorite but White Chocolate Wonderful is definitely up there. These brookies look mouthwatering! I love that I can get my cookie and brownie fix all in one bar – yum! Pinned 🙂
They are all SO good! I’m enjoying the maple peanut butter right now on my toast for breakfast and with a banana as a snack! Yum! Thanks for pinning!
