Frosted Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Brownies

     It's hard to pat yourself on the back when you are so busy typing...believe me, I tried.  I was so ecstatic to share this one I couldn't get to the key board fast enough.  So follow along, it takes a smidgen of planning for 4 decadent layers, but totally worth it.  Each of the 9 pieces are only 306 calories, 33.5g carbs, 7.4g fiber, 19.6g sugar alcohol, 6.5g net carbs, 12g protein and 21.8g fat.  You are going to experience the biggest mouth thrill with each and every bite.  Not to be a show off or anything, but seriously, you just gotta make this!!!  #noexcuses
