Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 ounces of a semi-sweet chocolate bar, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup peanut butter chips
- ~ 1/4 cup peanut butter
Instructions
- Grease and line a 8″x8″ baking pan with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350° F.
- In a large (microwave safe) bowl, add the butter and chopped semi-sweet chocolate bar. Melt in the microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring between each set.
- Once completely melted, add the sugar and vigorously whisk for 30-60 seconds.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until combined. Then add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt and mix until combined. Then stir in the peanut butter chips.
- Pour the batter into the baking pan. Drop small globs of peanut butter on top of the brownies. Use the tip of a knife to swirl the peanut butter around the brownie batter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with a few crumbs (not liquid batter, but also not completely clean).
- Let cool and then remove from the pan to cut and serve.
