How to Make Reese's Peanut Butter Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter.
  4. Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter to the melted butter and stir until smooth.
  5. Stir in 2 cups granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Remove 1 ¾ cups of the peanut butter batter and set aside.
  10. In a medium bowl, whisk together the reserved batter and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.
  11. Spread the cocoa batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  12. Spread the remaining peanut butter batter over the cocoa layer, swirling gently with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect.
  13. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  14. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
