Preparation and cooking times

Prep 20 mins

Cook 35 mins

Set aside 50g each of the peanut butter and chocolate. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 20cm square baking tin with baking parchment. Gently melt remaining peanut butter, chocolate and all the sugar in a pan, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has just about melted. Turn off heat and use a wooden spoon to beat in the eggs one by one. Stir in the flour and scrape into the tin.
Melt reserved peanut butter in the microwave on High for 45 secs, or in a pan, until runny, then drizzle over the brownie. Bake for 30-35 mins until it has a crust, but the middle still seems slightly uncooked.
Melt reserved chocolate, drizzle over the brownie, then cool in the tin before cutting into squares.

These taste amazing. Really easy, I used supercook milk chocolate, not the 70% cocoa stuff and still turned out great! First thing I made that looks exactly like in the picture!

Absolutely the perfect brownies! Chewy and delicious, just as the other comment says - exactly as in the picture. Will certainly be making these again in the near future.

made these last weekend and made them dairy and wheat free - they still turned out great!! Tasted even better when they had cooled completely too!

These were quite good. Not the best I've tasted. Cooked for 30 mins and I think they were a little overdone.

as suggested I cooked mine for a few minutes less and they came out perfect - and as per other comments they look exactly like the picture. they are so so so easy to make and are just divine to eat - I had to make 2 batches to take into work and they disappeared so fast!

My sister thoughtfully made these for me as I suffer from lactose intolerance and this is a dairy-free recipe, as long as you use dark chocolate. Oh my gosh, they are divine! I love peanut butter anyway, but coupled with chocolate it's just heaven! Fudgy and moist in the middle with a chewy outer crust - just how brownies should be, all with a nutty flavour. You'd never guess these contained no butter :) 5 stars!

Just made these as a gift for a friend. Quality tested one square before giving (naturally) and very pleased with results. Next time I think I'll add chunks of chocolate to the mixture as the peanut butter can drown the chocolate flavour a bit.

Moist and chewy. I definitely get the "Star Bar" comment above. The teenagers loved these.

This are probably some of the best brownies I have ever made - a little tip though - melt peanut butter, chocolate and sugar in a microwave, rather than in a pan - loads easier.

As a lover of brownies, I have baked and tried many recipes with this being one of my favourites. The saltyness of the p/b compliments the sweetness of the chocolate superbly. One small thing I changed was the amount of melted choc on top as it seemed too much. I reduced this to 25g and put the remaining 25g into the cake.

Excellent recipe - these went down very well with my colleagues! Very rich, and moreish. I might try a little less sugar next time, but only because I prefer brownies a bit less sweet.
