Peanut Butter Brownies


......Perfect Peanut Butter Brownies......

This recipe is from bbcgoodfood.com and is absolutely foolproof, it works perfectly everytime.  The recipe is so quick and easy, and the brownies look like they took so much more effort than they do thanks to the luxurious chocolate drizzle at the end…..

The best part? They are DELICIOUS! 

Ingredients

225g crunchy peanut butter
200g bar dark chocolate , broken into pieces
280g soft light brown sugar
3 medium eggs
100g self-raising flour

Method

  1. Set aside 50g each of the peanut butter and chocolate. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 20cm square baking tin with baking parchment.
  2. In a pan gently melt remaining peanut butter, chocolate and all the sugar, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has just about melted. Turn off heat and allow to cool for a few minutes before using a wooden spoon to beat in the eggs one by one. (make sure you give it cooling time so the eggs don’t scramble on contact with the hot ingredients!) Stir in the flour and scrape into the tin.

 3. Melt reserved peanut butter in the microwave on High for 45 secs, (in 15second bursts so as not to burn the butter), until runny, then drizzle over the brownie. Bake for 30-35 mins until it has a crust, but the middle still seems slightly uncooked.



4. Melt reserved chocolate in microwave in 15second bursts until completely melted, drizzle over the brownie, then cool in the tin before cutting into squares.




Enjoy!
