Peanut Butter Brownies

Now, before I begin, please be warned...these brownies are seriously addictive. They are a perfect balance between nutty and sweet and chocolatey, and are super easy to make. Before you start, you will need a 20cm square tin...or thereabouts. Prepare to make some amazing brownies...

Ingredients
30g unsalted butter
225g crunchy peanut butter
200g dark chocolate, minimum 70% cocoa solids, broken into pieces
280g soft light brown sugar
3 medium eggs
100g self raising flour

First thing to do is set 50g of peanut butter and about 40g of chocolate aside, you will need these later.  Heat your oven to 180 degrees, 160 degrees fan or Gas Mark 4,and line your baking try with baking paper. 
Put the peanut butter and chocolate that was remaining in a pan with your butter and sugar, and gently melt, stirring occasionally until the sugar has just about melted. 
It does look slightly odd in the pan!

Now transfer it to a mixing bowl, this will cool it slightly. Using a wooden spoon, beat your eggs in, and once combined, add the flour and mix well. 

Now pour the mixture into your tin.

With the 50g of left over peanut butter, pop it in the microwave for 45 seconds, or until it is runny, and then drizzle over the brownie mix, using a cocktail stick to make swirls.

Looks amazing, well done...keep going, nearly there!!

Now pop the brownie in the oven for 20-25 minutes until it has a crust around the edge but looks slightly undercooked in the middle.


Leave to cool slightly in the tin. When the brownie has cooled slightly, melt the remainder of the chocolate and drizzle over the top of the brownie.
Leave in the tin to cool completely before cutting and serving.
Enjoy!
