Ingredients:

Peanut Butter Filling:

• 1 ¼ cups (336 grams) creamy conventional peanut butter (not natural)

Brownie Batter:

• 10 tablespoons (142 grams) unsalted butter
• 4 ounces (113 grams) semisweet baking chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup (64 grams) all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup (25 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
• ¼ teaspoon fine salt

Instructions:

1. Peanut Butter Layer Preparation:
   • Microwave the peanut butter in a heat-safe bowl for 20-30 seconds until it's pourable but not hot.
   • Line an 8-inch square metal pan with parchment, leaving an overhang. Spread peanut butter into an even layer. Freeze until solid, about 1 hour.
2. Brownie Batter Preparation:
   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line the same square pan with fresh parchment paper.
   • In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and chocolate. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
   • Whisk sugar into the melted chocolate mixture vigorously. Allow to cool slightly.
   • Blend in eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, whisking for about a minute.
   • Fold in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined.
3. Assembly:
   • Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface.
   • Remove the frozen peanut butter layer from the freezer, lift it out using the parchment, and place it directly on the batter layer.
   • Cover with the remaining brownie batter, smoothing the top.
4. Baking and Cooling:
   • Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
   • Allow to cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then lift out and cool further on a rack for 30 more minutes.
