When I recently pulled out my Apple and Oat Crisp recipe to share, I found this recipe for Peanut Butter
Brownies which I would make with a chocolate middle.
Yield: one 8-inch square pan, 9-12 servings
½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups light brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
3 eggs
1 ¼ cups flour
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Place oven rack on middle rung. Preheat oven to 325 degrees
farenheit. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
Using an electric mixer in a medium bowl, cream together butter,
peanut butter, brown sugar, salt and vanilla. Add eggs and flour.
Beat on high speed for 5 minutes. Spread ½ batter into prepared
pan. Spread 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips on top of batter
already in pan. Cover chocolate chips with remaining batter.
Bake 45-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out
with only chocolate on it. Remove from oven. Cool. Cut. Serve.
Store any leftovers in air-tight container.
