Recipe: Peanut Butter Paisley Brownies
Here’s a good recipe for those who like peanut butter (like me, see my last blog) and chocolate. It is easy to make and very yummy!
Peanut Butter Paisley Brownies
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
2. Beat butter and peanut butter in large bowl. Add sugar and brown sugar; beat well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in vanilla.
3. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt; mix into peanut butter mixture, blending well. Stir in peanut butter chips. Spread half of batter into prepared pan; spoon syrup over top. Carefully top with remaining batter; swirl with metal spatula or knife for marbled effect.
4. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into squares. About 36 brownies.
Subsitution: If you don’t have the chocolate syrup, try substituting chocolate chips. Just mix the chips in the dough and spread in the pan. This is how I made them, and were great!
Enjoy!
