If you haven’t tried Peanut Butter & Co. peanut butters you really MUST. I’m completely addicted and eat them on everything from my morning oatmeal to my nighttime ice cream…and sometimes right off the spoon! Soooo good.

PB-Co Mystery

This month Peanut Butter & Co. challenged me to a Mystery Ingredient recipe. They sent me a few jars of their peanut butter and a surprise ingredient….espresso!  The I had to come up with a recipe. Peanut butter is so versatile, it goes with almost everything! And it’s not wrong that I immediate thought BROWNIES, right?! Chocolate, peanut butter, and coffee. I mean, trifecta of heaven.

Love a delicious chocolate dessert? What about with peanut butter in it? My favorite! This Peanut Butter & Espresso Brownie Recipe is decadently amazing!

Inspired by this recipe from Food.com, I whipped up this fantastical Peanut Butter & Espresso Brownie recipe and oh gosh, I can’t tell you how good they are. You can taste that espresso and it makes the brownies so moist and fudgy. Then you add the Smooth Operator peanut butter and it’s just GAH. They didn’t last long. At all. That peanut butter is so creamy and delicious. I had been the #1 White Chocolate Wonderful fan all the way, but Smooth Operator is now tied for first.

Peanut Butter & Espresso Brownie Recipe

Peanut Butter & Espresso Brownies

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes

Ingredients

  • 5 ounces semisweet chocolate
  • 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons instant espresso
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into quarters
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 - 1/3 cup Smooth Operator Peanut Butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Spray an 8 inch square baking pan with cooking spray, then line it with aluminum foil. Fit one sheet in one direction, another sheet across perpendicularly in the other direction it so the bottom and sides are covered, being sure to push it into the corners. Hang the foil over the edges to make it easy to remove the brownies. Spray with cooking spray. Set aside.

Simmer a pot of water over the stove and place a heat-proof bowl on top of it. In that bowl, melt the chocolates and butter, stirring constantly until smooth.

Whisk in the cocoa powder and espresso until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool just a bit.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, sugar, and salt. Slowly add the chocolate mixture and whisk constantly until well combined.

Stir in the flour until combined.

Pour the brownie mix into the prepared pan and smooth out with a spatula.

Warm the peanut butter in the microwave for just about 10 seconds to thin the consistency.

Pour the peanut butter in about 9 separate spots on top of the brownies. Think of it like making the circles on a die with 9 spots on it, 3 across and 3 down.

Use a knife to swirl the peanut butter through the brownies making sure to get some in all the corners.

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool on a wire rack. When you're ready to cut and serve you can lift the brownies out of the pan using the foil as handles. Really easy to cut this way!
