How to Make Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together. Stir until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the peanut butter until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let the brownies cool completely before frosting.
  8. For the peanut butter frosting: Beat the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add milk as needed to reach desired consistency.
  9. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
  10. Melt the chocolate chips for the drizzle. Drizzle melted chocolate over the frosting using a fork or spoon for a rustic look.
