Instructions
Step 1
First, preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Next, gather all your ingredients. Make sure to measure accurately for the best results. Combine the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Once cooled, add the granulated sugar to the chocolate mixture and mix well.
Step 3
To the mixture, crack in the eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
Then, sift in the all-purpose flour and mix until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the brownies fudgy.
Step 4
Take the creamy peanut butter and drop spoonfuls into the brownie batter. Using a knife, swirl the peanut butter gently through the batter for a marbled effect.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 5
Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6
Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares and sprinkle with chopped peanuts for added texture and flavor.
Enjoy your delicious peanut butter brownies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!

Variations
If you're looking for a healthier twist, try our gluten-free and vegan versions of these delightful Peanut Butter Brownies! 🌿💚
For a **gluten-free** option, substitute regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. This will give you the same rich taste without any wheat! 🌰✅
Going vegan? Replace butter with coconut oil and eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons of water = 1 egg). This simple swap keeps all the yumminess while accommodating a vegan lifestyle! 🌱💧
