Yield Makes 9 large or 16 small squares

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for pan
2 ounces good-quality unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
4 ounces good-quality semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a buttered 8-inch square baking pan with foil or parchment paper, allowing 2 inches to hang over sides. Butter lining (excluding overhang); set pan aside.
  • Make batter: Put butter and chocolates in a heatproof medium bowl set over a pan of simmering water; stir until melted. Let cool slightly.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl, and set aside.
  • Whisk granulated sugar into chocolate mixture. Add eggs, and whisk until mixture is smooth. Stir in vanilla. Add flour mixture; stir until well incorporated.
  • Make filling: Stir together butter, confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, salt, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth.
  • Pour one-third of batter into prepared pan, and spread evenly with a rubber spatula. Place dollops of filling (about 1 tablespoon each) about 1 inch apart on top of batter. Drizzle remaining batter on top, and gently spread to fill pan. Place dollops of remaining filling on top.
  • With a butter knife, gently swirl filling into batter, running knife lengthwise and crosswise through layers. Bake until a cake tester inserted into brownies (avoid center and edges) comes out with a few crumbs but is not wet, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly in pan, about 15 minutes.

Provided by ERICA76

Categories     Desserts     Cookies     Brownie Recipes     Nut Brownie Recipes

Time 1h45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (19.8 ounce) package brownie mix without nuts
½ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
¼ cup water
1 (13 ounce) package miniature chocolate-covered peanut butter cups - unwrapped, chilled, and coarsely chopped
1 cup creamy peanut butter
⅓ cup white sugar
¼ cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Stir brownie mix, vegetable oil, 2 eggs, and water in a large mixing bowl until smoothly combined and gently mix the chopped peanut butter cups into the batter.
  • Beat peanut butter, sugar, butter, flour, vanilla extract, and 1 egg together in a bowl with an electric mixer until thoroughly combined. Spread half the brownie batter into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and top with 1/4-cup dollops of peanut butter mixture in an even pattern. Pour remaining brownie batter between the dollops. Use a knife to lightly swirl the peanut butter mixture into the brownie batter; do not overmix.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your brownies. Opt for a good-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cacao content of at least 60%.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, chewy brownie. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a toothpick to test for doneness: To prevent overbaking, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, the brownies are done.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting: Cutting into the brownies while they're still warm will cause them to crumble. Allow them to cool completely before slicing and serving.
  • Store the brownies properly: Brownies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

The combination of rich chocolate and creamy peanut butter makes these brownies a decadent and delicious treat. With their fudgy texture and perfect balance of flavors, they're sure to be a hit with chocolate and peanut butter lovers alike.
