Fudgy Peanut Butter Brownies

You can use all semi-sweet chocolate and they will turn great too.
Servings 9 medium squares

Ingredients

For the brownie base:

  • 2 oz. 60g unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 2 oz. 60g semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • ¾ cup 170g unsalted butter
  • 1 ¾ cups  350g sugar
  • 3 eggs  room tº
  • 1 Tbs.  vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbs.  unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup 140g all-purpose flour

For the peanut butter swirl:

  • ½ cup  peanut butter
  • 2 Tbs.  30g butter, melted
  • cup  powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon  vanilla
  • 2 or 3 Tbs cream

Instructions

For the brownie base:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF / 180ºC. Line a 9x9-inch square pan with and spray the sides that aren’t lined.
  • Melt the two chocolates and butter together in a large glass bowl. I do it in the microwave oven, stirring every 30 seconds, until chocolate is smooth. You can do it over a pot of boiling water, careful the bottom doesn’t touch the water.
  • Stir in the sugar. Then add the eggs, vanilla, and cocoa. Stir well until you have a smoother batter.
  • Add flour and mix carefully. Spread batter in prepared pan.

For the peanut butter swirl:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together peanut butter, melted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and cream. Drop spoonfuls on top of the brownie base, then swirl with a knife, making sure you leave whole chunks of peanut butter mix intact. Otherwise it all blends together and it’s not the same.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes, until a tester 2 inches from the outside of the pan comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack completely before cutting.
