Ingredients
  

  • 14 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 7 ounces Unsweetened Chocolate
  • 1 1/3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 2/3 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 4 large Egg room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 12 Miniature Peanut Butter Cups
  • 1/3 cup Creamy Peanut Butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 x 8 baking pan with aluminum foil.
  • Add the butter and chocolate to a bowl and melt together in the microwave at 50% power for 30 second increments, stirring between each increment, until the butter and chocolate is melted. Mix well together. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix together.
  • Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla to the butter mixture and mix until just combined. Do not over whip!
  • Stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients.
  • Add half the batter to the baking pan and then top with the peanut butter cups. Top with the remaining batter.
  • Add dollops of the peanut butter over the batter, and use a knife to create swirls of the peanut butter around the batter.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs attached.
  • Allow to cool completely before cutting.
