Preparation
Step 1
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F (177C) and lightly grease/spray a 9x9 pan (or line with parchment paper).
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, heat butter in microwave until melted.
Stir in cocoa powder and sugar.
Stir in water and vanilla extract.
Add eggs and egg yolk, stirring until well-combined..
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
Gradually add to butter mixture until completely combined.
Spread batter evenly into prepared pan and bake on 350F (177C) for 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely before covering with peanut butter fudge. Peanut Butter Fudge
Combine peanut butter and butter in large heat proof bowl and microwave at 15-second increments (stirring between each) until butter is completely melted.
Stir in vanilla extract.
Gradually add/stir in powdered sugar.
Add milk and stir well. Mixture should be fudgy enough that you can mold pieces into a ball, but not too stiff that you won't be able to spread it over the brownies.
Drop peanut butter mixture by heaping spoonfuls over the cooled brownies and use a knife to gently spread until the brownies are evenly covered with a thick layer of fudge.
Prepare chocolate fudge frosting by combining chocolate chips and remaining butter in a medium heat-proof bowl and microwaving at 15-second increments (stirring between) until completely melted.
Evenly pour chocolate over fudge, spread with a knife.
Allow chocolate to set before slicing and serving (30-60 minutes).
