For the peanut butter layer, in a medium bowl, mix together the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened butter until smooth and well combined. This mixture will create a creamy, sweet topping that pairs perfectly with the chocolate brownies.
Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture over the brownie batter in the baking dish. Once the spoonfuls are added, use a knife or a toothpick to swirl the peanut butter into the brownie batter. This will create a beautiful marbled effect, with the peanut butter swirled throughout the brownies.
Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake the brownies; they should remain moist and fudgy in the center. The peanut butter layer should bake into the brownies and create a rich, creamy texture.
Serving Suggestions
Once the brownies are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes. Then, cut them into squares and serve warm. You can serve these Peanut Butter Brownies as they are or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for an extra indulgent treat. They also pair wonderfully with a cold glass of milk!
Make-Ahead & Storage
These Peanut Butter Brownies can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you prefer them a little warmer, simply microwave them for a few seconds before serving. You can also refrigerate the brownies to keep them fresh for longer, but they are best enjoyed at room temperature for the perfect fudgy texture.
