List of Ingredients




Brownie Ingredients:
1 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter
4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
2 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
6 large eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Filling Ingredients:
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons milk


Recipe



Heat oven to 350° F. Grease bottom only of 13 x 9-inch square pan. Set aside.

Melt butter, unsweetened chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate in 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth (4 to 7 minutes).

Remove from heat; stir in 2-1/2 cups sugar and vanilla. Add 6 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add flour and salt; mix just until all ingredients are moistened and brownie mixture is smooth. Spread half of brownie mixture into prepared pan.

Combine peanut butter, cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, 1 egg and milk in small mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Dollop peanut butter mixture over brownie mixture. Spoon remaining brownie mixture over peanut butter mixture. Swirl brownie mixture and peanut butter mixture with knife.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until brownies just begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely; cut into bars. Store refrigerated. Makes 48 brownies.

TIP: To substitute unsweetened cocoa for unsweetened baking chocolate, use 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa plus 1 tablespoon butter for each ounce of unsweetened baking chocolate. To substitute unsweetened cocoa for semi-sweet baking chocolate, use 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa plus 4 teaspoons granulated sugar plus 2 teaspoons butter for each ounce of semi-sweet baking chocolate.

TIP: Reduce the baking temperature by 25°F if using dark or nonstick baking pan.
