  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Line a 9x9 inch metal pan with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cocoa powder and melted butter.

  8. Place the peanut butter in a microwave-safe container and then heat in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until it is a pourable consistency.
  9. Drizzle the warmed-up peanut butter over the brownies in horizontal lines and use a butter knife to swirl into the brownies by dragging the knife through the peanut butter and brownie batter.

  11. Bake for 25 minutes.
  12. Let cool, cut and serve!

Notes

  • Note: If you use a smaller or larger baking pan you’ll need to adjust the time. A smaller pan will take slightly longer to bake and a larger pan will take less time to bake (it will also result in much thinner brownies).
