Peanut Butter Brownies
When you can't decide between brownies or peanut butter bars, peanut butter brownies are the perfect compromise. A thick layer of icing tops these fudgy brownies, and chocolate glaze is added for a final flourish.

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup butter, cubed
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
FILLING:
1 1/2 cups 1-1/2 confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 to 3 tablespoons half and half cream or milk
GLAZE:
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate
1 tablespoon butter
Directions:
In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter over low heat. In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until they're light and pale-colored. Add the flour and melted chocolate and stir well. Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch square baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean. Remove the pan from the oven, set it on a wire rack and allow the brownies to cool completely.
For the peanut butter filling, beat the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter and butter in a bowl. Stir in the cream until the mixture reaches the desired spreading consistency. Spread the peanut butter filling over the cooled brownies. Cover and chill the brownies until the filling is firm.
For the glaze, melt the chocolate and butter in a saucepan, stirring until they're smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the peanut butter filling. Chill the brownies before cutting them (this will help reduce crumbling). Cover and store the brownies in the refrigerator.
