Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Cashew butter
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and semisweet chocolate chips together, stirring continuously until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually stir the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, ensuring everything is fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cashew butter and powdered sugar until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, gently warm the cashew butter for a few seconds in the microwave to loosen it.

Step 8

Drop spoonfuls of the cashew butter mixture onto the brownie batter, then use a knife or skewer to swirl it into the batter for a marbled effect.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 10

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 11

Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 12 squares and enjoy!
