How to Make Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ cup milk.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide the batter in half.
  7. To one half, stir in 1 cup chunky peanut butter, ½ cup peanut butter chips, and ½ cup chopped peanuts.
  8. To the other half, stir in 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  9. Spoon alternating mounds of chocolate and peanut butter batter into the prepared pan, creating a checkerboard pattern.
  10. Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the batters together, creating a marbled effect.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (it will still have a few moist crumbs because of the peanut butter).
  12. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
