Ingredients:

For the Brownie Batter:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Make Brownie Batter:

  • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
  • Add vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Fold in the flour until just combined. Do not overmix.

3. Make Peanut Butter Filling:

  • In a separate bowl, mix together peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened butter until smooth.

4. Assemble:

  • Spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it evenly.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter filling over the brownie batter.
  • Spoon the remaining brownie batter over the peanut butter filling, spreading it carefully to cover the peanut butter layer.

5. Swirl:

  • Use a knife or a spatula to gently swirl the peanut butter filling into the brownie batter, creating a marbled effect.

6. Bake:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake.

7. Cool and Slice:

  • Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

8. Serve:

  • Once cooled, serve and enjoy your peanut butter stuffed brownies!

These brownies offer a perfect balance of chocolate and peanut butter, creating a delicious and indulgent treat. They are great for sharing with friends and family or satisfying your sweet cravings. Enjoy!
