- Add chocolate mixture to the flour mixture, beat on medium speed until combined.
- Add eggs, vanilla and buttermilk & beat for one minute (batter will be thin)
- Pour into greased 9 X 13 pan

For the icing:
- 1/4 c. reduced fat peanut butter
- 1/4 c. butter, softened
- 1/4 c. reduced fat cream cheese, softened
- 2 c. confectioner’s sugar

Cream together first three ingredients and then gradually add sugar to desired consistency, The milk can be left out for a stiffer icing, or if the milk makes the icing too thin, additional sugar can be added. Spread on cooled brownies.
