Extreme Peanut Butter Brownies Recipes

EXTREME PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 9"-x-13" baking pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, stir together melted butter, cocoa powder, and sugar, then gradually mix in eggs and vanilla until batter is glossy.
• In a small bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Slowly add to brownie batter, stirring just to combine. Pour half the brownie batter into prepared pan and top with a layer of Nutter Butters.
• Heat ¾ cup peanut butter in the microwave for 20 seconds, then drizzle half over Nutter Butters. Top with remaining brownie batter. Plop spoonfuls of remaining warmed peanut butter onto batter, then use a butter knife to gently swirl together.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of brownies comes out with just a few crumbs, 40 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Heat remaining ¼ cup peanut butter in the microwave for 20 seconds and drizzle over cooled brownies. Top with peanut butter cups before serving.
