The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is a rich, salty-sweet delight you’ll love. Give these brownies a go for a delicious spin on the moist, chewy baked snack.
Ingredients:
- 125g unsalted butter, diced
- 120g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
- ⅔ cup plain flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Drizzle
- 35g unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup icing sugar
- ⅓ cup smooth peanut butter
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 160˚C. Grease a 20cm square baking pan and line with baking paper.
- For the brownie batter, melt the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Allow this mixture to cool slightly.
- Whisk the sugar into chocolate mixture, and then add eggs. Whisk together until smooth. Stir in the vanilla.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt and add to the chocolate. Stir everything until incorporated.
- For the drizzle, stir together the melted butter, icing sugar, peanut butter, salt, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate batter into your prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Spoon the drizzle over the tip and swirl it through using a butter knife.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted is not wet when it comes out. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then cool to room temperature before cutting into squares.
