Chocolate Brownies with Peanut Butter Icing

I had such a bad craving the other day, that I had to make up a recipe.  After the holiday, my baking ingredients are running low.  Thankfully I had something to put some peanut butter and chocolate deliciousness.

This dessert is a bit decadent.  I don't recommend making it on a Tuesday afternoon with no one else to share them.  I'm now making a stride to cut down on my baking and sugar intake as a whole.  The holidays have tempted me to get a little out of control.  Ok, that is more like a lot out of control.

Brownie Ingredients:
 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Brownie Directions:
1.  Mix together oil, sugar, and vanilla extract.  Add and mix eggs one at a time.
2.  Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a seperate bowl.
3.  Stir flour mixture into the oil and sugar mixture. 
4.  Pour into greased 9x9 pan and bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until knife comes out clean

Peanut Butter Icing Ingredients:
3/4 cup peanut butter
2/3 to 1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbl butter, room temperature
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 to 3 Tbl milk

Directions:
1. Combine peanut butter, sugar, butter, and salt.
2.  Add milk to reach desired consistency.

Once the brownies have cooled, place icing over the top of the brownies.
