Ingredients
  

  • 1 box 18–20 oz brownie mix
  • Ingredients called for on the mix box usually eggs, oil, water
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter slightly warmed
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar optional, for thicker swirl
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to temperature on brownie box; line a 9x13 pan with foil and spray lightly.
  2. Prepare brownie batter per box directions; stir in chocolate chips if using.
  3. Spread batter evenly in pan. Dollop warmed peanut butter across top and sprinkle powdered sugar over it.
  4. Use a knife to swirl peanut butter into batter, making marbled lines.
  5. Bake according to box time, checking at the lower end; a toothpick with a few moist crumbs is perfect.
  6. Cool completely in pan before lifting with foil and cutting into bars.
