American · Dessert · 50 min total

Fudgy brownies topped with creamy peanut butter and chocolate ganache, inspired by the classic candy.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
3. Add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder; mix until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
4. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely.
5. In a small bowl, mix peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread over cooled brownies.
6. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
7. Pour chocolate ganache over peanut butter layer and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.

Tips

• For easier cutting, chill brownies for 1 hour before slicing.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet filling, but adjust powdered sugar to taste.
