Peanut Butter Brownies
INGREDIENTS
•
You’ll need:
•
6 oz. semi-sweet baking chocolate or dark chocolate, coarsely chopped (such as Baker's brand semi-sweet chocolate—I use a 72% Pound Plus Bar from Trader Joe’s)
•
3/4 cup unsalted butter
•
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
•
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
•
2 tbsp. espresso or brewed coffee, any temperature; optional but recommended
•
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
•
3 large eggs
•
1 cup all-purpose flour
•
Pinch of salt to taste, optional
•
For the peanut butter buttercream:
•
1 cup creamy peanut butter (I recommend Jif or Skippy—not a fancy, high-end or natural peanut butter, since they separate, and your frosting results could be compromised)
•
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
•
2 tsp. vanilla extract
•
1 1/2 to 2 cups confectioner's sugar
•
Pinch of salt to taste, optional
•
Sprinkles, optional
