Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.25 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to help lift the brownies out once baked.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture over the brownie batter.
Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the peanut butter into the batter to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to mix too much, as you want to maintain distinct swirls.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for fudgier brownies.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 pieces and serve.
