Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set it aside.
- In a medium sized saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove the pan from heat and add chocolate chips and granulated sugar. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Add eggs, one at a time, combining completely after each addition. Add vanilla and stir until blended.
- Add the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Using big strokes, stir just until mixed and dry ingredients are no longer visible.
- Pour batter in the prepared baking dish. Bake the brownie layer for 23-25 minutes.
- While brownies are baking, make peanut butter filling. In a mixing bowl, combined melted butter, peanut butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Beat until combined.
- Remove brownies from oven when done baking. Gently drop peanut butter filling onto top of warm brownies, using fingertips to make sure brownies are completely covered.
- For the ganache, in a small microwave safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat for one minute. Stir until smooth. Pour over peanut butter layer and spread until evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate brownies for 2 hours (or more). Cut into bars while chilled. Serve and enjoy!!
Notes
- Peanut butter. I find regular creamy peanut butter works better than natural or sugar free.
- Storage. Keep these brownies chilled for best results. Store in airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
