I love making recipes like this in my iron skillet. It looks so good even before you slice into it. If you are new to cast iron or have an old skillet that needs some TLC, be sure to check out our post on taking care of cast iron. These skillets will last forever if you just take care of them. Break in your seasoned skillet on a batch of these peanut butter cup brownies. You will be so glad that you did!
