A few years ago, we introduced a baked treat that dared to ask, “if you love brownies, and you love chocolate chip cookies, why not enjoy both at the same time?”. The Brookie was an instant hit, and its dual- layered approach to dessert continues to be a consummate customer favorite to this day. So much so, in fact, that we felt the time was right to bring in another delectable doubleheader onto our shelves. Made for us by the same supplier as the adored original, Trader Joe’s Peanut Butter Brookie takes the Brookie formula into a wonderfully nutty new direction.

To make each Peanut Butter Brookie, our supplier starts with a layer of rich, fudgy brownie batter, then tops it with a layer of sweet peanut butter cookie batter, complete with crunchy bits of chopped peanuts. After baking, they top it off with a sprinkle of sea salt to really round out that crunchy, salted peanut butter profile. With every bite, you get the classic flavor combo of chocolate and peanut butter, plus the extra dimension of a satisfyingly soft, just done cookie-brownie texture. Enjoy this Peanut Butter Brookie as an anytime sweet treat, straight out of the package, or, for something a little more involved, we’re especially fond of it warmed up and topped with a scoop of ice cream...
