Time 2h20m

Yield 12 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 large eggs
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup chopped salted pretzels

Steps:

  • For the brownies: Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper, pressing the parchment into the corners and up the sides of the pan and leaving an overhang on 2 sides. Butter the parchment and dust lightly with flour.
  • Melt the 1 stick butter in a small saucepan or high-sided skillet over medium-low heat. Add the chopped chocolate and cook, stirring constantly, until mostly melted. Remove from the heat and continue stirring until the chocolate is completely melted. Transfer to a large heatproof bowl, let cool for 10 minutes and then whisk in the eggs, water and vanilla.
  • In another large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt; whisk to combine. Transfer the dry ingredients to the melted chocolate then fold with a rubber spatula to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Set aside.
  • For the topping: Stir together the peanut butter, confectioners' sugar and melted butter in a medium bowl until smooth.
  • Spoon dollops of the peanut butter mixture on top of the brownie batter. Holding a butter knife vertically, swirl up and down and horizontally and vertically until the batter and topping are nicely swirled together. Sprinkle the chopped pretzels over the top.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs, about 35 minutes.
  • Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Using the parchment "handles," lift the brownies out of the baking dish and transfer to a cutting board to cool completely before slicing into 12 bars.
