Dairy Fudge Brownies with Peanut Butter Chips

I found this recipe on the Internet after buying peanut butter chips on sale at the grocery store. I was surprised by the positive reactions and requests for the recipe I got after serving them for Seudah Shlishit. So I adapted the recipe to our cooking ingredients, measurements and methods and added it to our family collection. Enjoy!

Ingredients
  • 150 grams unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

instructions
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 8 or 9 inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished brownies out.
  2. Melt the butter in a large bowl in the microwave. When the butter is completely melted, stir in the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. The mixture will look gritty. Set aside for a few minutes to cool a bit. 
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring after each addition. The batter will be thick and look shiny.
  4. Add the flour, beating with a whisk until fully combined. Don't overmix the flour.
  5. Gently fold in the peanut butter chips, leaving a few to sprinkle on top.
  6. Pour into prepared baking pan and sprinkle with remaining peanut butter chips.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes, using a toothpick to check for doneness.
  8. Cool before cutting.
  9. Freeze or store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
