By bakers_delight85

Ingredients

• 8 ounces semisweet chocolate
• 3/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup tahini (sesame butter)
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 3 eggs
• 2 Tbsp. milk
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 coarsely chopped unsalted peanuts
• 2 Tbsp. sesame seeds

Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan melt the chocolate and ¼ cup of the butter over low heat until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl beat the remaining ½ cup butter, the peanut butter, and tahini with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, and baking powder; beat until combined. Beat in the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Beat in as much of the flour as you can. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour.
Spread half of the peanut butter batter into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9x2 inch baking pan. Spread cooled chocolate mixture over batter in pan. Spoon remaining peanut butter batter into small mounds over chocolate mixture. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and sesame seeds.
Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
