The following recipe is my version of one my mother-in-law shared with me. Brownies were never on my list of things to eat until I tasted them with cappuccino buttercream. I added chocolate chips to the batter because they make a nice contrast to the cakelike brownies. These are so easy, you don't even need a mixer. This recipe is a keeper!—PHH

So glad to see you've joined the blogging world. I will be visiting your site often! I know how great a cook you are!
I still love the chocolate frosted peanut butter brownies that were in Southern Living in (I think) 1999.
