Method
 

  1. Preheat & Prepare Pan: Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and grease with butter.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, whisking until smooth.

  4. Melt Chocolate: Melt the semisweet chocolate and gently fold it into the brownie batter.
  5. Pour & Swirl: Pour batter into the prepared pan. Drizzle warmed peanut butter on top, then use a knife or toothpick to swirl it into the batter.
