ingredients
Steps
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a double boiler or in the microwave, then stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
Brownie Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add the cooled chocolate and butter mixture and combine. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix!
Peanut Butter Swirl
In a small bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and optional milk until smooth and spreadable. Add a little more milk if the mixture is too thick.
Assemble & Bake
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Dollop the peanut butter mixture over the batter, then gently spread it out. Finally, pour the remaining brownie batter over the peanut butter layer. Use a knife or skewer to create a marble swirl pattern. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly wobbly. Let cool completely in the pan before lifting out and cutting into bites.
Extra Tips
► Don't overbake the brownies, or they will be dry! They are perfect when the edges are set but the center is still slightly wobbly.
► For the peanut butter swirl, use room temperature peanut butter, it will be easier to mix and spread evenly.
► For perfect slices, wait until the brownies are completely cooled before cutting them into bites.
