Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons honey (for drizzle)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and combined.
Gradually mix the melted chocolate-butter mixture into the sugar and eggs mixture until smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
While the brownies cool, prepare the peanut butter topping by mixing the creamy peanut butter, honey, powdered sugar, and milk in a medium bowl until smooth and spreadable.
Once the brownies have cooled, spread the peanut butter mixture evenly on top of the brownies using a spatula.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over the peanut butter layer for an extra sweet and visually appealing finish.
Chill the brownies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up the layers before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy your Triple Decker Honey Peanut Butter Brownies!
