Chocolate and peanut butter is always a winning combo and makes a perfect foil to all that fruit cake’n’pud traditionally offered around the Christmas table.
This easy-peasy brownie would also make a fab addition to any Christmas parties or festive barbecues. You’ve probably got all six ingredients in your kitchen so why not make a pan of this right now? You will thank me later…
The recipe was found on BBC Good Food’s site, a fabulous place to while away the hours. I added some roasted, salted peanuts on top and boy did it make this sweet sing.
GATHER:
225g crunchy peanut butter
200g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
280g soft light brown sugar
3 medium eggs
100g self-raising flour
handful roasted, salted peanuts
handful dark chocolate drops
LET’S GET TO IT:
Preheat oven to 180C and grease and line a 20cm pan with non-stick baking paper.
Melt peanut butter, chocolate and sugar in a pan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has just about melted.
Turn off heat and use a wooden spoon to beat in the eggs one by one then stir in the flour.
When everything is mixed in pour into tin, then dot the peanuts and dark chocolate drops on top.
Bake 25-30 minutes, until top is firm but inside still fudgy.
Cool and cut into squares.

I love chocolate and peanut butter as a combo! This sounds rich and delicious!
Lovely!

Yummy! These look absolutely decadent!!
Yep, they’re not for those on a diet 🙂
Peanut butter desserts are the best! Thank you for sharing this recipe — it looks wonderful!
Cheers for your lovely words! 🙂
I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying these brownies! I know my family would love them.
Such a fab combo – you can’t beat it 🙂
I love that giant slab of chocolate hehehe. Chocolate & PB = match made in heaven. For some reason I’ve never put peanuts in my brownies before – mistake??! These would be great to indulge in after a yummy Chrissy lunch I think 😀
I know – I bought that choc as part of an online grocery shop and didn’t realise how HUGE it was til I unpacked it! Yes – start adding peanuts to your brownies – stat! The crunch & saltiness against the choc is divine x
These look great! My little brother has a nut allergy so no peanut butter on Christmas day for me 😦 I will make them for me for work though!
Oh, nut allergy is so scary. Hope your work mates like them x
These look yummy mum! If you like coconut try Earth Balance brand peanut butter with coconut–it’s so delicious I won’t eat any other peanut butter. Happy Nesting!
oh, have never heard of that PB – is it in supermarkets? I’m in Sydney. Thanks!
I usually get it from a local market here but I have seen it at Whole Foods. It’s made in Niwot, CO–I hope there is one in Sydney so you can also enjoy this heavenly treat.
To my knowledge Whole Foods isn’t in Oz but! I’ll be in the US soon for a hol – will keep an eye out for it 🙂
