Peanut Butter Brownies Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIES

Steps:

• For the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven.
• Melt the chocolate and then pour it in a large bowl. Stir in the butter and the superfine and Demerara sugars, adding them in stages and beating each time with a wooden spoon until well mixed. Add the eggs, one at a time, again beating the mixture after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Gently fold the flour into the chocolate mixture, and then fold in a pinch of salt.
• Scrape the batter into heart-shaped silicone molds (see Cook's Note) sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake until the brownies have a nice, shiny top, and a cocktail stick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Place on a cooling rack, and let cool completely before removing the brownies from the molds.
• For the peanut butter topping: Mix together the peanut butter, milk and grated white chocolate; top the brownies with spoonfuls of the mixture and garnish with shaved white chocolate. Leave out at room temperature.

PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIES

Steps:

• Prepare the brownies: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-by-13-inch pan lightly with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two long sides.
• In a small saucepan, heat the butter and cocoa over low heat until the butter melts, about 5 minutes. Whisk to combine then set aside to cool, 5 minutes.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the granulated sugar, flour and salt. Add the butter mixture and beat on medium speed until well blended, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs one by one, incorporating each before adding the next, then add the vanilla and mix until combined.
• Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared pan. Bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Let the brownies cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Prepare the topping: Add the peanut butter to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until softened, about 15 seconds. Stir it well to distribute heat evenly then spread it in an even layer on top of the brownies. Freeze the brownies for at least 30 minutes.
• Prepare the frosting: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and marshmallows over medium heat, stirring often, until both are melted and no lumps remain, about 5 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar, milk and cocoa, and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Spread the frosting over the peanut butter layer and freeze for 30 minutes.
• Remove the brownies from the pan: First, cut the brownies away from the pan edge on both short sides, then lift them out using the parchment paper handles. Cut into 24 squares. Keep refrigerated.

Steps:

• Set aside 50g each of the peanut butter and chocolate. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 20cm square baking tin with baking parchment. Gently melt remaining peanut butter, chocolate and all the sugar in a pan, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has just about melted. Transfer mix into a bowl to cool down slightly. Turn off heat and use a wooden spoon to beat in the eggs one by one. Stir in the flour and scrape into the tin.
• Melt reserved peanut butter in the microwave on High for 45 secs, or in a pan, until runny, then drizzle over the brownie. Bake for 20-25 mins until it has a crust, but the middle still seems slightly uncooked.
• Melt reserved chocolate, drizzle over the brownie, then cool in the tin before cutting into squares.
