How to Make Fudgy Salty Peanut Butter Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips (if using).
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
  9. While the brownies cool, prepare the ganache: Heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped chocolate.
  10. Let stand for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy. Stir in sea salt (if using).
  11. Once the brownies are completely cool, pour the ganache evenly over the top. Let it set completely before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
