Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies

Miss V and I made these a bit earlier today.  The recipe came from her Williams Sonoma Cooking Together Cookbook.

3/4 cups butter
8 oz semisweet chocolate chopped
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
6 tbs creamy peanut butter
3/4 cups chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350.  Line a 9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

Combine the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl and place over (not touching) barely simmering water in a saucepan.  (I just used the microwave)  Heat stirring frequently, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes.  Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.

Break the eggs into a bowl.  Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the eggs until light in color, about 4 minutes.  Beat n the vanilla and sugar until well combined, then gradually stir in the cooled chocolate until blended.  Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour and salt until evenly combined.

Scoop the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.  Using a tablespoon, drop 6 tablespoon sized dollops of peanut butter evenly over the top.  Sprinkle with the chocolate chips.

Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean 25 to 30 minutes.  Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.  Cut into squares and serve.







Of course we needed to sample them before dessert and they get two thumbs up!!!

Mmm, just look at all that peanut butter goodness. Swoon! I'd love it if you'd come by and link it up to Sweets for a Saturday. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2011/06/sweets-for-saturday-23.html
