Killer Peanut Butter Strikes Back Brownies 🍫

Description

Rich? Rich isn’t the word for these. You don’t need to have these with a glass of milk. You’ll need about 2 glasses with each brownie, or a huge heaped helping of ice cream on top! Try the white chocolate ones too, if you’re daring.

2. Melt chocolate and butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate and butter for 2 minutes, stirring until chocolate is melted. If needed, microwave for an additional 20 seconds until fully melted. Alternatively, use a double boiler for melting.

3. Mix sugar into chocolate: Add sugar into the melted chocolate mixture, stirring until well blended.

4. Incorporate eggs and vanilla: Mix in eggs and vanilla until fully incorporated into the mixture.

5. Add flour gradually: Gradually add flour about 1/4 cup at a time, stirring until well blended.

6. Incorporate peanut butter: Microwave the peanut butter for about 10 seconds to soften it, then add it into the brownie mixture. Alternatively, you can drizzle it over the top of the brownie batter before baking for a marbled effect.

7. Spread batter in pan: Spread the brownie mixture evenly into a greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan.

8. Bake: Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with fudgy crumbs.

9. Melt chocolate chips: About 5 minutes before the brownies are done baking, start melting the chocolate chips. Microwave them for about a minute at a time, stirring in between, until fully melted.

10. Melt peanut butter chips: If using peanut butter chips, melt them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, being careful not to overheat.

11. Spread melted peanut butter chips: Once the brownies are slightly cooled, carefully spread the melted peanut butter chips over the top and let cool until partially set.

12. Spread melted chocolate over the top: Carefully spread the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer to create a uniform coat.

13. Embed peanut butter cups: Place peanut butter cups in a 4 x 6 grid (or 3 x 4 for larger brownies) on top of the melted chocolate layer.

14. Allow to cool: Let the brownies cool, allowing the chocolate to set partially but not completely.

15. Cut and serve: Using a sharp knife, cut the brownies into squares and enjoy! These decadent treats are sure to impress.

16. Bonus tip: “Would you believe I got an office full of people to believe these were low fat just so they’d stop staring at them and start eating them?”
