Peanut Butter Brownies

 

These were so good and easy to make!  They had the perfect brownies texture. I also had everything on hand to make them.  They do require unsweetened chocolate, and I don't always have that on hand.  It's worth buying just for these brownies, though.

adapted from Cravings of a Lunatic

1/2 cup butter
2 oz unsweetened chocolate
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup mini Reese's Pieces, optional

1.  Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease an 8 x 8 inch pan with cooking spray.  

2.  Melt the butter and unsweetened chocolate together over low heat in a medium size saucepan. Stir the mixture until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.  Remove the saucepan from heat and add the sugar. Stir well.  Add the eggs and vanilla to the saucepan, stir until it’s smooth.  Then add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, flour and salt. Stir until well combined.  Pour the mixture into prepared 8 x 8 inch pan.

3.  Pour the peanut butter chips, milk chocolate chips and mini Reese's Pieces to the pan. Give the pan a quick tap on the counter to get out any bubbles and then place it in the oven on the middle rack.  Bake the brownies for about 15-25 minutes.  (All ovens are different; check early so they do not overbake.  A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.)

4. Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool.  Cut into squares
