Instructions
For the Brownies
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Grease and flour a 9”x13” baking pan. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper; set pan aside.
- Using a medium saucepan, add the butter, unsweetened chocolate and 1 cup of chocolate chips. Place over medium-low heat, stirring often, until butter and chocolate have fully melted; set pan aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, sugar and vanilla. Stir the egg mixture into the warm (not hot!) chocolate mixture.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the powdered sugar, peanut butter and milk until smooth.
- Stir the peanut butter mixture and remaining ¾ cup of chocolate chips into the brownie batter.
- Spread batter evenly into prepared baking pan. Sprinkle peanut butter chips on top.
- Bake at 325°F for 40-45 minutes, or until top of brownies is just set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
- Let cool before slicing. (Tip: If you refrigerate these brownies, they’ll be easier to slice.)
