Low Stress Holiday Brownies



Hi all, Angie here! With Thanksgiving and Christmas many of us have been baking to impress our family and friends. At this time of year when I want a fresh baked treat without the stress I always turn to a classic fudgey brownie recipe I tracked down, the All Recipes Mmm Mmm Brownies (just use butter, not oil!) . This simple recipe is easy to make and can be easily adapted to change things up a bit. I've done cheesecake swirl, Andes Mints, and today I will be sharing my Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Brownie recipe.

You'll need:
Ingredients from the above All Recipes Brownie Link, Plus:
2/3 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3-1/2 cup sugar
1 egg (optional)
2/3 to 1 cup chocolate chips

serves 12-16


Grease your brownie pan and preheat your oven to 350. Follow the all recipe instructions, but add chocolate chips when you're done mixing. Set the chocolate batter aside. In a small bowl mix peanut butter, sugar, 1 egg (beaten) and the vanilla together. Mix until smooth and creamy. Now add about half of your chocolate batter into the greased brownie pan. Spread it out evenly, then spoon the peanut butter mixture over the top, leaving about 1/3 the mixture in the bowl. Smooth this layer out and add your remaining chocolate in an evenish layer. Then spoon the last of the PB mix on top. Use a toothpick or knife to create a marbled pattern, and you're done! Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges look done. The peanut butter may remain runny but the brownies will be done, test doneness by the chocolate batter or looking at the edges. Bon Apetit!
