Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, followed by the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Layer the Brownies: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare Peanut Butter Layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, soften the peanut butter for about 20-30 seconds until it’s easy to spread. Spread the peanut butter evenly over the brownie batter in the baking dish.
- Top with Remaining Batter: Pour the remaining brownie batter over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly.
- Add Chips: Sprinkle the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips over the top.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
Notes
Ensure that the peanut butter is softened for easy spreading, but do not overheat it.
