Ingredient List

1/2 Cup Butter

1/4 Cup Peanut Butter

1 Cup Sugar

1 Cup Brown Sugar

3 Eggs

1 Teaspoon Vanilla

2 Cups Flour

2 Teaspoons Baking Powder

1/4 Teaspoon Salt

10 oz. Peanut Butter Chips

11 oz. Chocolate Chips

A dear friend of mine has just recently gone through some knee surgery. This means she wasn’t able to cook and care for her family the way she would normally. So I thought I would help out and take over some sweets for her and the kiddos. Who doesn’t like goodies while they are recovering? One of the desserts I made for them was the Peanut Butter and Chocolate Brownies. This is how I made them.

I first took 1/2 cup of butter and 1/4 cup of peanut butter and blended them together in my stand mixer.

I then added 1 cup of packed brown sugar and 1 cup of white sugar.

While the sugars and butters are blending, I combined 2 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a separate bowl.

I then added 3 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the wet ingredients. After the wet ingredients are blended, I then add the dry ingredients into the stand mixer and combine.

I then took 2 cups of chocolate chips (I used Milk Chocolate Chips) and melted them over very low heat.

Now, mix 10 oz. of peanut butter chips into the batter.

Now press half of the batter into a greased 9 by 13 inch casserole dish.

Take your melted chocolate and spread it evenly over the peanut butter batter.

This next step is kind of messy. I then take the second part of the batter and pinch pieces off and place them all over the top of the chocolate layer. Do your best to cover the chocolate layer completely, but do not stress over it. Cooking is supposed to be fun!

Now bake in 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes. Your house will smell amazing! Allow to cool before you cut brownies into squares.
