Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter
- 0.75 cup Milk chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted chocolate-butter mixture 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. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter over the batter layer, using half of the peanut butter. Swirl it into the batter gently with a butter knife or skewer.
Add half of the milk chocolate chunks evenly over the peanut butter layer.
Spread the remaining brownie batter over the top, smoothing it out with a spatula. Repeat with the remaining peanut butter, swirling it into the top layer, and sprinkle the rest of the milk chocolate chunks on top.
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, as the brownies will continue to set as they cool.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang, and cut them into 9 squares. Serve and enjoy!
