How to Make Super Peanut Butter Filled Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch glass Pyrex baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars 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. Spread half of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  7. In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and butter until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the brownie batter.
  8. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the peanut butter filling and spread to create an even layer.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake!
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  11. Once cooled, prepare the chocolate glaze by melting the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Stir until fully incorporated.
  12. Pour the glaze evenly over the cooled brownies and let it set completely before cutting and serving.
