INGREDIENTS:
(Wet)
1 cup butter, softened
½ cup
white sugar (extra fine white baker’s sugar works awesome)
½ cup brown sugar
3 eggs
½ cup brown sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
2 Tablespoons Creamy Peanut Butter
(Dry)
(Dry)
½ cup cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour ( ½ cup all-purpose, ½ cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour)
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup all-purpose flour ( ½ cup all-purpose, ½ cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour)
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons Chocolate Peanut Butter Powder
(PB2 with Premium Chocolate***)
½ cup peanut butter chips
½ cup milk chocolate chips
¼ cup Reese’s Pieces
Topping
1 cup milk chocolate chips
2 cups peanut butter chips
DIRECTIONS:
In a mixer with a medium bowl, cream butter, eggs and sugar. Add vanilla and peanut butter. Mix until combined. Mix dry ingredients then add slowly to wet ingredients. Add ½ cup peanut butter chips and ½ cup milk chocolate chips at the end of your mixing. Grease a 9"x13" pan. Pour batter evenly into pan. Sprinkle and gently press down the Reese’s Pieces over the batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 – 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Immediately sprinkle the topping chips over the baked brownies. Cover with foil for 3 minutes. Remove foil and spread the now melted chips over the brownies (I like to use an angled spatula to do this). Let cool completely and let the chocolate set (Several Hours). Cut into squares and serve. Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place.
