Yield Makes about 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
For swirl
6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup smooth old-fashioned peanut butter
1/3 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For brownies
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
  • Make swirl:
  • Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese and next 5 ingredients in medium bowl until blended and smooth.
  • Make brownies:
  • Combine butter and both chopped chocolates in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over low heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat; cool to room temperature. Whisk in eggs, then sugar, vanilla and salt. Add flour; stir just until blended. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Spread 1/3 of brownie batter in prepared pan (layer will be thin). Alternate generous tablespoonfuls of remaining brownie batter and peanut swirl batter atop brownie layer in pan. Using small knife, cut through batters, creating marbleized effect; smooth top slightly.
  • Bake brownies until peanut swirl is set and tester inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 30 minutes. Cool in pan on rack.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my brownies turned out nothing like the picture. They were flat, dense, and had no peanut butter swirl. I'm very disappointed.

These brownies were a complete disaster! They were dry, crumbly, and the peanut butter swirl was barely noticeable. I would not recommend this recipe.

Overall, I thought these brownies were just okay. I don't think I'll be making them again.

These brownies were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try using more flour next time.

The peanut butter swirl was a bit too overpowering for my taste. I think I'll try using less peanut butter next time.

These brownies are the best! They're fudgy, chocolatey, and the peanut butter swirl is the perfect touch. I will definitely be making these again and again.

I added some chopped peanuts to the batter for an extra crunch. They turned out so good! I highly recommend this recipe.

I love how easy these brownies are to make. I just mixed everything together in one bowl and popped it in the oven. They turned out perfectly gooey and chocolatey.
