The Ultimate Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie Sundaes

Directions

Brownie

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil, letting the foil over hang the edges by a few inches; grease the foil with butter or cooking spray.

In a microwave safe dish (2-cup glass measuring cup works great for this), add your chocolates, cocoa, and butter. Microwave, stirring often, for 1 to 3 minutes until the mixture is smooth. Let it cool slightly.

In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt together. Whisk in the melted chocolate mixture until combined. Stir in the flour until just incorporated.

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. Drop the peanut butter on top of the brownie batter by little spoonfuls all over the top. Use a knife to cut through the peanut butter and pull it through the brownie layer a bit.

Bake the brownies until a tooth-pick inserted into the middle comes with just a few soft crumbs attached, 35 to 40 minutes.

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan; set on a wire rack. Remove the brownies from the pan by using the foil, cut into squares to serve.

Hot Fudge

n a medium sauce pan heat the cream over medium heat until it starts to boil.

Pull the pan off the heat and the chopped chocolate and peanut butter. Let the mixture sit for 30 seconds.

Whisk the cream, chocolate, and peanut butter together until the mixture is smooth.

Add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Add the vanilla and salt and mix to combine.

Allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes before serving warm. The mixture will thicken slightly as it cools and will be a nice texture when it hits the cold ice cream.

Store any extras in an air-tight container in the fridge and reheat to warm before serving again.

To Assemble

To assemble the brownie sundae of your dreams, just put a brownie on a plate (or three...) top with a scoop of ice cream, drizzle peanut butter hot fudge on top and then sprinkle on chopped Reese's. Enjoy with a tall glass of milk.
