"These brownies are incredible: the perfect pick-me-up or treat for someone you love. Cook a lot - everyone will want some," says Clare Scrine of her next-level brownie recipe, which features a hefty swirl of crunchy peanut butter. Scrine suggests eating them with a glass of cold milk. Sounds like a perfect match to us.
