Introduction
If you’re a fan of peanut butter and chocolate, you’re going to love these peanut butter salted caramel brownies. They are rich, fudgy, and loaded with swirls of peanut butter and caramel. They are the ultimate treat for any occasion, whether it’s a birthday, a potluck, or a cozy night in.
Why I Love These Brownies
I’ve always loved peanut butter and chocolate together, especially in brownies. But I wanted to take them to the next level by adding some salted caramel sauce. I mean, who doesn’t love salted caramel? It adds a sweet and salty contrast to the chocolate and peanut butter, and makes these brownies extra gooey and decadent.
How to Make These Brownies
The best part is that these brownies are super easy to make. You don’t need any fancy ingredients or equipment, just some basic pantry staples and a 8×8 inch baking dish. You can use a boxed brownie mix or make your own from scratch. Аlso use store-bought or homemade salted caramel sauce. And you definitely need some Reese chocolate peanut butter spread. This stuff is amazing. It’s like a peanut butter cup in a jar, and it makes these brownies irresistible.
Step 1: Make the brownie batter
You simply whisk together some melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs in a large bowl. Then you stir in some flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Finally, you stir in some softened Reese chocolate peanut butter spread. This gives the brownies a nice peanut butter flavor and texture.
Step 2: Swirl in the caramel sauce
You pour the batter into a greased 8×8 inch baking dish and smooth it out. Then you drizzle some salted caramel sauce and some more Reese chocolate peanut butter spread all over the top of the batter. You use a knife to swirl them together, creating a beautiful marbled effect.
Step 3: Bake and enjoy
Bake the brownies for 35 to 40 minutes, or until they are just set in the middle. Let them cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. You can enjoy them as they are, or with some whipped cream or ice cream if you’re feeling extra indulgent.
