Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 units large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup peanut butter chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the semisweet chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the sugar mixture, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Warm the peanut butter slightly in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make it easier to spread. Drop dollops of half the peanut butter over the batter, then swirl it gently with a butter knife.
Pour the remaining brownie batter on top and spread it evenly. Drop dollops of the remaining peanut butter on top and swirl it into the surface for a marble effect. If using peanut butter chips, sprinkle them evenly over the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). The center should look slightly underbaked for a gooey texture.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 20-30 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Slice into 16 squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
