Peanut Butter Brownies Recipe

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with a parchment paper sling.

Microwave

Add the chocolate and butter to a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds, until the mixture is melted and smooth.

Whisk in the cocoa powder, sugar, and brown sugar.

Stir in the eggs, vanilla, espresso powder, flour, and salt until combined.

Fold in the chopped peanut butter cups and peanut butter chips. Set aside.

Stir

In a separate medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter swirl ingredients until well combined. Do not overmix.

Swirl

Dollop two-thirds of the brownie batter into the pan, then dollop in the peanut butter mixture filling. Top with the remaining one-third of the brownie batter. Swirl the two together with a butter knife gently. Do not over-swirl. Top with more chopped peanut butter cups and peanut butter chips.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Let cool before slicing and serving.
