  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 4 ounces of  semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Peanut Butter Topping

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup icing sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. 

Line an 8 x 8 inch pan with tin foil and spray it with a non-stick cooking spray.

Beat together the eggs and white sugar. Set aside.

Next, beat the butter and peanut butter together until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the icing sugar.

Once blended, scoop heaping teaspoons of the peanut butter mix across the chocolate layer. This doesn’t have to be tidy, just do your best to distribute even dollops across the top. Take a butter knife and drag it back and forth through the pan to swirl the peanut butter through the brownie batter.

Pop this in the oven and bake at 350 for approximately 40 minutes. The key here is not to overcook the brownies. The sides should JUST start to peel away from the edges of the pan and the center will look soft. If it’s jiggling, they need a few more minutes but you want the center to be soft.

Remove from the oven and use a chocolate frosting to top them off. If you frost while they are still warm the icing will melt nicely and appear glossy. Usually 10 minutes out of the oven is a good time for this. just be careful not to tear up the top layer.

Once they have set for an hour, lift the foil out of the pan, peel the sides back and cut into squares.

Store these in an airtight container in the fridge. The consistency gets even better overnight. You can also make this recipe ahead of time and keep them in the freezer.
