Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted chocolate mixture until combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

In a small microwave-safe bowl, warm the peanut butter for 15-20 seconds to make it easier to swirl. Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter over the brownie batter, then use a knife or skewer to create swirls by dragging it through the batter.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 9

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into squares and serve.
