Ingredients
- 12 Tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup all purpose flour
frosting
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter I use Jiff
- 5 Tbsp unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 Tbsp heavy cream possibly a bit more
- 2 1/2 cups sifted confectioner's sugar possibly a bit more
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper with long ends so you can lift the brownies out for easier frosting.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium low heat, and then add the chocolate chips, stirring constantly until they melt too.
- Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the cocoa powder and sugars and blend well. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla and salt.
- Fold in the flour and then spread evenly in the pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes. The top should look set and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out without wet batter clinging to it (fudgey crumbs are ok) Try not to over bake.
- Cool the brownies completely before frosting.
- To make the frosting, beat the butter and peanut butter together until fluffy and well combined. Beat in the vanilla and cream, then add the sugar, a cup at a time, and beat until smooth and creamy. If the frosting seems too thin, add a little more sugar, and if the frosting seems too stiff, add a little more cream. Spread generously over the cooled brownies.
