These were supposed to be peanut butter and chocolate swirl brownies but apparently I am incompetent when it comes to swirling. I tried twice to get the swirl but it just wouldn't happen. If you try this recipe and the swirl works for you let me know your technique so I can try it. I followed the recipe as stated on the Kraft website by sprinkling the 2 oz of chopped chocolate and by placing spoonfuls of peanut butter on top of the hot brownie and then swirling them together with and offset spatula. This did not work. I then tried melting the chocolate first and heating up the peanut butter in the microwave in the hopes that it would swirl better. Didn't happen. In the end I ended up using double the amount of peanut butter and chocolate topping and it was rich but really good, but feel free to just use the original amount. I also used crunchy peanut butter, which I think is better but make to your own preference.
Peanut butter and chocolate brownies
Brownie
4 oz dark chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup butter
3 eggs
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 cup flour
Topping
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 oz dark chocolate
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 13 X 9 inch baking pan.
Combine the 4 oz of chocolate and butter in a glass bowl and microwave for a few minutes until melted. Add the sugar and eggs and mix. Stir in the flour. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Immediately after the brownie comes out of the oven, top with dabs of peanut butter and chocolate. Swirl using an offset spatula.
The photos of the flowers are all so beautiful. I like it. And the brownies are so delish! This is perfect.
