Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1.25 cups granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

Melt the unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate chips together in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually stir in the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

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

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Drop dollops of the peanut butter mixture on top of the brownie batter.

Step 7

Using a butter knife, gently swirl the peanut butter into the brownie batter to create a marbled pattern. Be careful not to over-swirl for the best paisley effect.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake for fudgy brownies.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your delicious Peanut Butter Paisley Brownies!
