PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIES



Peanut Butter Brownies image

Joanna Gaines of Magnolia Table in Waco, Texas, developed this recipe for a layered treat that combines the best of a brownie, a candy bar and an ice cream sandwich. The fudgy texture of brownies makes a perfect base for peanut butter and a fluffy chocolate topping. You can use a different chocolate frosting or glaze for the top layer, depending on what ingredients you have on hand.

Time 45m

Yield 24 servings (1 9-by-13-inch baking pan)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Cooking spray
1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks)
1/3 cup/30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups/400 grams granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 (16-ounce/455 gram) jar creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick)
10 large marshmallows (about 65 grams)
4 cups/500 grams confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup/80 milliliters whole milk
1/4 cup/25 grams unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Prepare the brownies: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-by-13-inch pan lightly with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two long sides.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the butter and cocoa over low heat until the butter melts, about 5 minutes. Whisk to combine then set aside to cool, 5 minutes.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the granulated sugar, flour and salt. Add the butter mixture and beat on medium speed until well blended, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs one by one, incorporating each before adding the next, then add the vanilla and mix until combined.
  • Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared pan. Bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Let the brownies cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the topping: Add the peanut butter to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until softened, about 15 seconds. Stir it well to distribute heat evenly then spread it in an even layer on top of the brownies. Freeze the brownies for at least 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the frosting: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and marshmallows over medium heat, stirring often, until both are melted and no lumps remain, about 5 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar, milk and cocoa, and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Spread the frosting over the peanut butter layer and freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the brownies from the pan: First, cut the brownies away from the pan edge on both short sides, then lift them out using the parchment paper handles. Cut into 24 squares. Keep refrigerated.

PEANUT BUTTER CRISPY BROWNIES



Peanut Butter Crispy Brownies image

This is an adaptation of a "Brownie Goody Bar" recipe I found on the back of a Better Crocker brownie box a few years ago. We also call them Scotcharoo Brownies, because they have a butterscotch, peanut butter, rice crispy layer on top of a fuggy brownie. This is my family's favorite sweet treat! They are sooo good. I usually wrap them individually in suran wrap and store in the refrigerator so that they do not all get eaten at once. This slows the guys down a little.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 bars, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (22 1/2 ounce) box brownie mix, prepared (I like Betty Crocker Original Supreme)
1 (12 ounce) bag butterscotch chips
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3 1/2 cups crisp rice cereal (use 4 cups for a thicker rice crispy layer)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350. Make brownies as directed for a 9 x 13-inch pan. Cool completely.
  • Melt butterscotch chips and peanut butter in a 1-quart saucepan or in a glass bowl in microwave (1 1/2 minutes on high) stirring frequently.
  • Stir cereal into peanut putter butterscotch mixture.
  • Pour cereal mixture over brownies. Spread evenly.
  • Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until set before cutting.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh peanut butter. Natural peanut butter is the best choice, as it doesn't contain any added sugar or oils.
  • If you don't have any cocoa Krispies, you can use another type of crispy cereal, such as Rice Krispies or Corn Flakes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this will make the brownies tough.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • If you want a gooey center, bake the brownies for a shorter amount of time.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These Cocoa Krispies peanut butter brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from birthday parties to potlucks. With their rich chocolate flavor and crispy peanut butter filling, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these brownies a try.
