If you love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter, you’ll love these fudgy, chewy and dense brownies. They get a double swirl of extra-creamy peanut butter for a rich, nutty version of the classic bar. They’re a welcome treat for a snack, weeknight dessert or bake sale item. For truly moist brownies, be sure to cook them until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out almost clean. If you bake them until the pick is clean, your brownies will be overcooked and dry. Tightly wrap any leftover brownies in plastic wrap and store them at room temperature for 3 to 4 days.
