Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Base
Preheat your oven according to the brownie mix instructions (usually 175–180°C / 350°F).
Prepare brownie batter and pour it into a greased or parchment-lined baking pan.
Bake until just set (slightly underbaked is best for fudgy texture).
Let it cool completely before adding layers.
Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Layer
In a mixing bowl, combine:
- Peanut butter
- Powdered sugar
- Softened butter
- Vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Mix until smooth, thick, and creamy.
Spread evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
Step 3: Prepare Chocolate Topping
Melt chocolate chips and butter together using a microwave or double boiler.
Stir until smooth and glossy.
Step 4: Add Final Layer
Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer.
Spread evenly using a spatula.
Step 5: Chill
Refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or until fully set.
This step is important for clean slicing and perfect texture.
Step 6: Slice & Serve
Cut into squares or bars and serve chilled or at room temperature.
