Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Chunky Peanut Butter |
| 1/2 | Egg |
| 2 | Heavy Cream |
| 1 | Butter |
| 1/2 | All-Purpose Flour |
| 1/2 | Baking Powder |
| 3 | Salt |
| 3/4 | Brown Sugar |
| 1/4 | Sugar |
| 1/2 | Bittersweet Chocolate |
Instructions:
For the Filling:
- Begin by combining all the filling ingredients in a bowl. This includes the chunky peanut butter, egg, heavy cream, and sugar.
- Mix everything together until well combined, creating a smooth and creamy filling.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the filling while you prepare the brownie batter.
For the Brownie Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C). Grease the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan with butter.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and bittersweet chocolate together until smooth. Stir well and set aside to cool for about 15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This will ensure a smooth and evenly textured brownie.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the brown sugar, sugar, and eggs until the mixture becomes thick and fluffy.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the fluffy egg and sugar mixture until well combined.
- Slowly add the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding gently until everything is incorporated.
Assembly:
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.
- Place the pan in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up the batter slightly.
- Meanwhile, take the chilled peanut butter filling out of the refrigerator. Form the filling into 36 small, ¾ inch balls.
- Flatten each ball into a 1-inch circle, creating small discs of filling.
- Remove the pan from the freezer and arrange the peanut butter filling discs on top of the brownie layer. Place them in 6 rows of 6, pressing lightly so they stick to the batter.
- Spoon the remaining brownie batter over the peanut butter filling, covering it completely.
- Cover the baking pan tightly with aluminum foil to prevent burning the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes covered with foil.
- After 20 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.
- Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, cut the brownies into 1 ½ inch squares using a sharp knife.
