Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup peanut butter (creamy or natural)
- 0.25 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Pour the slightly cooled chocolate and butter mixture into the sugar mixture and whisk until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
Warm the peanut butter slightly in the microwave for about 10 seconds to make it easier to drizzle. Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter over the brownie batter and use a toothpick or knife to swirl it gently into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
If desired, sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top for an extra crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake to keep the brownies ooey and gooey.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Ooey Gooey Peanut Butter and Fudge Brownies!
