FUDGY SALTY PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIES



Fudgy Salty Peanut Butter Brownies image

Provided by Anne Thornton, Host of Dessert First

Categories     dessert

Time 2h25m

Yield 12 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter, plus more, softened, for pan
1 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 eggs, at room temperature
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup creamy peanut butter (don't use old-fashioned or natural)
1/2 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/4 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups salted cocktail peanuts
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
7 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.
  • For your brownie batter: Melt your butter in a medium (or large) heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water.
  • While the butter is melting, whisk the cocoa powder, sea salt and sugar in a separate bowl. (The sugar and salt will work as abrasive agents to get any lumps out of the cocoa.) Whisk the cocoa/sugar/salt combo into the melted butter until the sugar has dissolved fully. The mixture should look like fudge and pull away from the bowl into a ball. Take off the stove and set the pan on a dishtowel on your counter. Allow the fudgy mixture to cool down until it's warm, but not hot anymore.
  • While that is cooling, line the bottom and sides of your 9 by 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil. You want to leave about 4 inches of overhang on the 2 opposite sides. These serve as your handles to remove the brownies from the pan in 1 piece, so make sure that there is enough of the overhang for you to have a solid grip. Grease the parchment or foil well.
  • Stir in the vanilla into the cooled fudge mixture to loosen it up. Add the eggs into the mixture 1 at a time, adding the second egg after the first egg is fully incorporated. The batter should look shiny and well blended. Add in your flour and stir it until it's fully incorporated. Once it looks fully blended, beat the batter vigorously for at least 45 strokes. This'll not only get out any pent up stress, but it will make the brownies chewy. Fold in your chocolate chips. Spread the very thick and fudgy brownie batter evenly in the lined pan with an offset spatula or your greased hands.
  • Pop the brownies in the oven and bake until they get a nice crust and your house smells like brownies, 30 to 35 minutes. Let them cool completely on a rack or a dishtowel on your counter.
  • While the brownies are cooling make the buttercream and ganache.
  • For the buttercream: Mix your peanut butter and butter together in a stand mixer until they are totally blended. Turn your mixer down and slowly add your powdered sugar and fine sea salt. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Turn your mixer back to medium, add your milk and vanilla and keep mixing until it's fully blended. Dollop the peanut butter buttercream in heaping spoonfuls on top of the cooled brownies. Evenly spread it with the back of a butter knife the over the surface. Scatter the peanuts evenly over the buttercream, pressing into the buttercream so that the ganache has something to hold on to and the peanuts are all covered.
  • For the ganache: Melt the chocolate chips and butter together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Allow the ganache to cool down slightly for 10 minutes or so, then pour it evenly over the peanut butter buttercream layer. Smooth the ganache out with the back of a butter knife, making sure to cover the buttercream and peanuts completely. Chill the brownies in the refrigerator until the toppings are set, 1 1/2 hours or so.
  • Remove these delicious guys from the refrigerator. Lift up the ends of the foil liner and place the Fudgy Salty Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies on a cutting board. Cut into squares.

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

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peanut butter. For a rich, nutty flavor, use natural or old-fashioned peanut butter. Avoid using low-fat or reduced-sugar peanut butter, as it will not produce the same results.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough, dry brownies. Mix the batter until just combined, then stop.
  • Use a toothpick to test the doneness of the brownies. Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out clean, the brownies are done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the brownies need to bake longer.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set and hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter nut brownies are a delicious and indulgent treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect peanut butter nut brownies every time.
