Super Peanut Butter Filled Brownies
Moist brownie bottom topped with a thick peanut butter filling then covered with a chocolate glaze. (This recipe doubles beautifully!)
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 ounce semisweet chocolate (1/2 square)
Filling
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup butter, softened 2-3 tablespoons cream
Glaze
1 oz semi-sweet baking chocolate
1 Tbsp butter
Preheat oven to 350.
In a small saucepan, melt unsweetened and semisweet chocolates with butter over low heat, set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and pale colored. Mix in 1 tsp vanilla.
Add flour, salt and melted chocolate; stir.
Pour into a greased 9 in square baking pan.
Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until brownies test done with toothpick coming clean but with moist crumbs clinging to it. (Do not overbake.) Cool.
Filling: Add peanut butter and butter in a mixing bow; mix until thoroughly combined and smooth. Note: You will get a much taller filling (as pictured) if you whip this with an electric mixture to incorporate lots of air.
Slowly add powdered sugar, mixture will be a bit crumbly.
Blend in cream until mixture is fluffy and reaches desired spreading consistency.
Spread over cooled brownies, cover and chill until firm.
Glaze: Melt chocolate and butter in saucepan, stir until smooth. Drizzle over the filling.
Chill well before cutting. Let sit at room temperature for 10 – 15 minutes before serving.
