So... no post last weekend. I have no excuse, just laziness and forgetfulness. But I'll make it up to you this week with peanut butter swirl brownies. These brownies could make up for anything. Seriously, these are brownies that literally begin with a big bowl of chocolate and butter. Talk about a good start.
The 'filing' (which mostly goes on top of the brownies) is mostly peanut butter. Interestingly enough, neither myself nor my husband really eat peanut butter. It's not that we don't like it or are allergic or anything, we just don't eat PB&J's or other such nonsense. And because of that, I don't remember the last time we bought peanut butter. Despite this, I found three opened and mostly empty jars of peanut butter in our fridge. And magically enough, they had exactly the amount of peanut butter I needed for the brownies. It was fate.
Once the batter and filling are finished, you are supposed to layer the two and swirl them together with a knife. I don't know if my batter was stiffer than hers, but it really didn't want to nicely 'marble'. It really ended up more globby than anything else. A tasty glob, but a glob none the less.
These brownies are awesome! Really awesome. They're so rich that you need to cut a 9x9 pan into 16 tiny brownies, or you'll make yourself sick. The peanut butter filling was kind of flaky and crumbly, like the filling of Rese's Peanut Butter Cups. The brownie parts are dense and very chocolate-y. Serious Yum. You should make them.
