How to Make Chocolate And Peanut Butter Fix Brownies

**Prepare the Brownies:** Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish.
**Melt Chocolate:** In a heavy saucepan, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, 2 cups granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
**Combine Wet Ingredients:** Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly. In a mixing bowl, whisk 4 large eggs until light and frothy. Gradually add the cooled chocolate mixture to the eggs, whisking until well combined.
**Add Dry Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
**Add Mix-ins:** Stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped peanuts.
**Bake:** Pour batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
**Cool Completely:** Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting.
**Make the Peanut Butter Ganache:** In a bowl, beat 1 cup creamy peanut butter with 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened butter using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
**Add Ganache Ingredients:** Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar, a pinch of salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and well combined.
**Frost the Brownies:** Spread the peanut butter ganache evenly over the cooled brownies.
**Make the Chocolate Topping:** In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter.
**Melt Chocolate Topping:** Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and melted.
**Drizzle and Spread:** Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter ganache. Spread evenly to cover.
**Chill:** Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the topping is set.
**Cut and Serve:** Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
