Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies Recipe (24 pieces):

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (225g) unsalted Butter
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup (90g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (175g) semisweet chocolate chips
• OR: boxed Brownie mix

For the Peanut Butter swirl:

• 1/2 cup (125g) creamy peanut butter
• 1/8 cup (15g)of powdered sugar

For the chocolate ganache:

• 1 cup (175g) semisweet chocolate chips
• 6 Tbs (90ml) heavy cream

• 9×13-inch baking pan
• Medium sauce pan
• Bowl
• Pyrex measuring cup
• Spatula

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in both sugars until well combined.
3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. (You can also use a box of Brownie Mix and follow the directions at this point).
5. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour 1/2 of the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.

7. In a small bowl, gently melt the peanut butter in the microwave using low heat until smooth. Mix with the powdered sugar. Spoon the mixture over the brownie batter.

8. Cover the peanut butter mixture with the remaining brownie dough. Use a knife to gently swirl the peanut butter into the brownie batter, creating a marbled effect.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it. Be careful not to overbake.

10. While the brownies are baking, prepare the chocolate ganache. In a small cup, microwave the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy.

11. Once the brownies are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan.

12. Pour the chocolate ganache over the cooled peanut butter brownies, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

13. Allow the ganache to set for about 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

14. Enjoy!
