PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP BROWNIES



Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Brownies image

I loved peanut butter brownies as a kid but my adult taste buds now find the available recipes overly sweet with a mild peanut flavor. This updated recipe relies on powdered peanuts to boost peanut flavor. I've reduced the sugar by about 1/3 from the typical recipes. This recipe reflects the best of three alternate variations that I attempted.

Time 3h25m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 box (17.8 oz) Betty Crocker™ Supreme triple chunk brownie mix
Water, vegetable oil and egg called for on brownie mix box
16 Reese's peanut butter cups miniatures, unwrapped
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons peanut butter

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the brownies will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will make the brownies dry.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter chocolate chunk brownies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're rich, fudgy, and packed with peanut butter and chocolate flavor.
