- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
2 cups (one 12-ounce bag) semi-sweet chocolate chips
heaping 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
4 large eggs
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened natural cocoa
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted for drizzling
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter, melted for drizzling
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 300F. Line a 9x9-inch pan with foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and heat for 1 minute on high power to melt. It's okay if it hasn't melted after 1 minute.
- Add 2 cups chocolate chips and one heaping half-cup peanut butter and heat for 1 minute on high power to melt.
- Whisk mixture until smooth. If necessary, heat in 10-second bursts until mixture can be whisked smooth.
- Add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
- Add the cocoa and whisk until smooth.
- Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
- Bake for about 35 minutes or until edges are set, and the top and center have just set and are not jiggly. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Place pan on a wire rack and allow brownies to cool completely, at least 2 hours, before adding the drizzles. If you add the drizzles to warm brownies, they'll melt together and while it tastes the same, cosmetically it isn't what's shown.
- After brownies have cooled, add 1/2 cup chocolate chips to a small microwave-safe bowl and heat on high power to melt, about 1 minute. Stir until smooth and drizzle over brownies using a spoon or squirt bottle; set aside.
- Add 1/3 cup peanut butter to a small microwave-safe bowl and heat on high power to melt, about 45 seconds. Drizzle over brownies using a spoon or squirt bottle.
- I recommend chilling the brownies before serving because they're rich, bold, and taste better when chilled. Cover pan with a sheet of foil to prevent fridge smells and chill brownies for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. Brownies will keep airtight in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
