Choctoberfest Celebrations
Well Monday we opened with the most amazing giveaway, did you enter yet? And then Tuesday had a decadent Three Layer Chocolate Cake with butter cream frosting. So today’s chocolate extravaganza is the next natural step. Chocolate meets peanut butter in a fun brownie.
As a reminder #Choctoberfest is an annual recipe-sharing event. I’m joining other food bloggers from around the world to create delicious chocolate recipes. This year, over 70 bloggers are joining together for a week full of chocolate cakes, pies, cookies, puddings, tarts, candies, and more. You can follow along by searching for the hashtag #Choctoberfest on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter.
What you will need for the Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies
The ingredients are pretty simple and most likely stuff you already have on hand:
Chocolate Layers
- ½ c. unsalted butter, melted
- 1 c. granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ t. vanilla extract
- ½ c. all-purpose flour
- ½ c. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/8 t. salt
Peanut Butter Layer
- 1/3 c. creamy peanut butter
- 2 T. unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 c. granulated sugar
- ¼ c. packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ t. real vanilla extract
- ½ c. all-purpose flour
- 1 t. baking powder
- 1/8 t. salt
How to make these Decadent Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8” x 8” pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Mix all the ingredients for the chocolate layer in a large mixing bowl, adding in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt last. Lightly fold in the flour and cocoa powder until just mixed. (Do not over mix or the brownies will turn out cake-like).
- Mix the ingredients for the peanut butter brownie layer, again saving the flour, baking powder and salt for last and stirring until just mixed.
- Spread peanut butter brownie layer on the bottom of the pan and top it with the chocolate brownie layer, spreading the batter for both layers out evenly.
- Bake for 22 minutes. Brownies will still be soft and gooey, but will finish setting while they cool. Enjoy
