How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- **Chocolate Layer:**
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, mixing until combined.
- Gently fold in 2 cups all-purpose flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans, ½ cup chopped walnuts, ½ cup chopped hazelnuts, ½ cup chopped macadamia nuts, and 1 cup white chocolate chips.
- **Peanut Butter Layer:**
- In a medium bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed brown sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs until well combined.
- Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter and mix until smooth.
- Gradually add 1 cup all-purpose flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spread half of the chocolate batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter batter over the chocolate layer.
- Swirl the peanut butter batter into the chocolate batter using a spatula or knife, creating a marbled effect.
- Spread the remaining chocolate batter over the peanut butter layer.
- Drop spoonfuls of remaining peanut butter batter over the top and swirl again.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached (for gooey brownies, bake for less time).
- Let cool completely before cutting into 12 pieces (4 rows x 3 rows).
