THREE-LAYER PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch (23-cm) square baking pan with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
• Add the butter and 1 cup of the chocolate chips to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1½ minutes, then let sit for 3 minutes before whisking until smooth. Add the granulated and brown sugars, vanilla, and salt. Whisk to combine. Whisk in the eggs until fully incorporated.
• Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the bowl and fold to combine with a spatula. Add the remaining ½ cup chocolate chips and fold to incorporate.
• Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Let cool completely.
• Make the peanut butter filling: In a medium bowl, use a rubber spatula to mix together the powdered sugar and peanut butter until crumbly. Add the melted butter and mix with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
• Scoop the peanut butter filling on top of the cooled brownies and use offset spatula to spread in an even layer. Sprinkle the crispy rice cereal on top. Freeze for 30 minutes.
• Make the chocolate ganache: Add the chocolate chips to a medium heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and whisk until the chips are melted and the ganache is smooth.
• Pour the ganache over the peanut butter filling. Use offset spatula to spread in an even layer. Garnish with flaky salt, if desired.
• Return the brownies to the freezer until the ganache sets, about 15 minutes.
• Cut the brownies into 9 squares.
• Enjoy!

PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIES

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.
