Preparation

Step 1

Three layers of chocolate and peanut butter goodness is combined to create a brownie that the entire family will love. There really isn’t anything special about making these brownies, you just bake the brownie base, cool and then layer it with peanut butter frosting and chocolate glaze. As soon as you take one bite you will realize you are eating something extra special!

To make the brownies, preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with foil and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder; set aside.

Melt the chocolate and butter in a large heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water until butter is completely melted and mixture is smooth. Remove bowl from saucepan and gradually whisk in sugar. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition until thoroughly combined. Whisk in vanilla. Add flour mixture in three additions, folding with a rubber spatula until batter is completely smooth and thoroughly combined.

Pour batter into prepared baking dish, smooth the top, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center of brownies comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached. Cool on wire rack to room temperature, about 2 hours.

To make the peanut butter layer, in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and peanut butter together on medium speed until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar and salt and beat until smooth and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the peanut butter frosting to the brownie pan. Using a spatula, smooth frosting over brownies.

To make the chocolate glaze, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds until chocolate is melted and smooth. Spread chocolate over peanut butter layer. Store brownies in refrigerator until chilled, about 2 to 4 hours. Remove from fridge, cut and serve.
