Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 0.25 cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
Slowly pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture, whisking continuously to avoid cooking the eggs.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix for a chewy texture.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Dollop the peanut butter on top of the batter and use a knife or skewer to swirl it gently into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
Sprinkle the chopped peanuts evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for fudgy brownies).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Elephant Stomp Brownies with a cold glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
