Yield Makes 30 Brownies

Number Of Ingredients 19

FOR BROWNIES
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
7 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup roasted salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
FOR FROSTING AND GANACHE
1 cup chunky peanut butter (not natural or old-fashioned)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
7 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • MAKE BROWNIES
  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a 13 by 9-inch metal baking pan with foil, leaving a long overhang; butter the foil.
  • Place the butter in a heavy large saucepan. Add both chocolates, stir over low heat until smooth, and remove from heat. Whisk in the sugar, vanilla, and salt, then add the eggs 1 at a time. Fold in the flour, then the nuts. Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 30 minutes. Place the pan on a rack; cool.
  • MAKE FROSTING AND GANACHE
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the peanut butter and 1/4 cup butter in a medium bowl to blend. Beat in the sugar, salt, and nutmeg, then add the milk and vanilla. Spread the frosting over the brownies.
  • Stir the chocolate and remaining 1/4 cup butter in a heavy small saucepan over low heat and stir until smooth. Drop the ganache all over the frosting, spreading to cover. Chill until set, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Using the foil as an aid, transfer the brownie cake to a work surface. Cut into squares. Bring to room temperature and serve.
  • DO AHEAD
  • The BROWNIES can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep chilled until ready to cut and serve.

These brownies were delicious! The peanut butter and fudge flavors were perfect together, and the salted peanuts on top added a nice touch of saltiness. I would definitely make these again.

These brownies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. The texture was fudgy and moist, and the peanut butter and fudge flavors were well-balanced. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
