Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal, and lightly grease the paper.
2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the granulated sugar until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3
Add the cocoa powder, flour, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and fudgy. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
4
Prepare the peanut butter swirl: In a small bowl, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and pourable. If too thick, add a tiny bit more milk, a few drops at a time.
5
Dollop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture over the brownie batter. Use a knife or a skewer to gently swirl the peanut butter into the chocolate batter, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to over-swirl or mix completely.
6
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang and slicing into squares. Cooling completely ensures fudgy brownies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get super fudgy brownies?

The key to fudgy brownies is not overbaking them. Look for a toothpick inserted in the center to come out with moist crumbs, but not completely clean. Also, cooling them completely before slicing helps them set and become dense and fudgy.

Can I use crunchy peanut butter?

While creamy peanut butter creates a smoother swirl, you can use crunchy peanut butter for an added textural element. Just be aware that the swirl will not be as uniform.

How long do these brownies last?

These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to 2-3 months.
