Ingredients: For the Brownies:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Ganache:

• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
7. In a medium bowl, prepare the peanut butter filling by whisking together the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
8. Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter filling on top of the brownie batter, and use a knife or toothpick to swirl it into the batter to create a marbled effect.
9. Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
10. Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
11. While the brownies are cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream until it begins to bubble around the edges. Pour the hot cream over the semisweet chocolate chips and let it sit for a minute. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the ganache is smooth and shiny.
12. Pour the chocolate ganache over the cooled brownies, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
13. Allow the ganache to set for a few minutes before slicing the brownies into squares.
