Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup peanut butter chips
- 1/2 cup toffee bits
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- Add 1 cup of granulated sugar to the melted butter and stir until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and glossy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually add this egg mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring continuously until fully incorporated.
- In another bowl, combine 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in 1 cup of peanut butter chips and 1/2 cup of toffee bits, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut the brownies into 16 squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious Peanut Butter Toffee Brownies!
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs and butter for smoother batter consistency
- Don't overmix the batter - this keeps brownies tender and fudgy
- For extra richness, use high-quality cocoa powder
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal
- Let brownies cool completely before cutting to maintain clean, crisp edges
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days
- For an extra indulgent touch, serve slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
- Check brownies a few minutes early to prevent overcooking - moist crumbs are key to perfect texture
