Peanut Butter Swirled Brownies - Adapted from Cinnamon and Chai

Brownie Ingredients:

1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter

2 Ounces Bakers Unsweetened Chocolate

1/2 Cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

2/3 Cup Flour

1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1/4 Teaspoon Salt

3/4 Cup Sugar

3 Eggs

2 Teaspoons Vanilla

1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips (optional)

Peanut Butter Filling Ingredients:

4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted

1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar

3/4 Cup Smooth Peanut Butter

1/4 Teaspoon Salt

1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan.
2. For Chocolate Batter: Put butter and chocolates in a heatproof medium bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stir until melted. Let cool slightly. 
3. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
4. Whisk granulated sugar into chocolate mixture. Add eggs, and whisk until mixture is smooth. Stir in vanilla. 
5. Add flour mixture; stir just until incorporated. Add Chocolate Chips.
6. For Peanut Butter Filling: Stir together butter, confectioners’ sugar, peanut butter, salt, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth.
7. Pour one-third of batter into prepared pan; spread evenly with a rubber spatula. Drop dollops of peanut butter filling (about 1 tablespoon each) on top of batter, spacing about 1 inch apart. Drizzle remaining batter on top, and gently spread to fill pan. Drop dollops of remaining filling on top. Gently swirl peanut butter filling into batter with a butter knife, running it through the layers three times lengthwise and three times crosswise.
8. Bake until a cake tester inserted into brownies (avoid center and edges) comes out with a few crumbs but is not wet, about 35 minutes. Let cool slightly in pan, about 15 minutes. Lift out; let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
9. Enjoy!!
