Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup smooth peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar until fully incorporated. 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 mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
Dollop the peanut butter mixture over the brownie batter. Use a butter knife or toothpick to gently swirl the peanut butter mixture into the brownie batter, creating a tiger stripe effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve.
