60. Recipes // Peanut Butter & Chocolate Brownies

Last week, whilst browsing online, I stumbled across a recipe for peanut butter and chocolate brownies. My mouth watered instantly. My heart rate increased (as did my BMI, almost simultaneously) and I vowed that I would bake these. No matter what. 

I know this sounds very OTT but, seriously, peanut butter? chocolate? brownies? What's not to like?! Although it's an incredibly rich, indulgent and high in fat pudding, it's a delicious treat and goes down incredibly well (especially with ice-cream!)

Ingredients

For the Brownie:

150g milk chocolate,

100g self-raising flour,

280g sugar,

200g peanut butter,

3 medium eggs

For the topping:

50g milk chocolate,

50g peanut butter,

50g chocolate chips,

Dash of milk

Method

Before starting: Pre-heat your oven to gas mark 4 and grease a baking tray.

1. In a pan, on the hob, melt the sugar, milk chocolate and peanut butter until the sugar has almost (but not completely) dissolved,

2. Still in the pan, add the 3 eggs one-by-one and beat,

3. Pour the mixture evenly into the baking tray,

4. Melt the left-over peanut butter and drizzle on top of brownie,

5. Bake the brownie for 25-30 minutes or until cooked but still somewhat gooey,

6. Melt the left-over chocolate (whilst milk, if needs be) and drizzle on top of brownie,

7. Sprinkle chocolate chips (or anything you'd like!) over the top and serve, still warm.

Unfortunately, I didn't have any ice-cream to serve with mine but it was still delicious! 

Lots of Love,
