Ingredients

  • 1 box King Arthur Flour Gluten-Free Fudge Brownie Mix
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (325° if using a glass or dark metal pan). Grease an 8" square or 9" round pan and line with parchment.
  • Whisk together melted butter, water, and eggs. Stir in mix. Add chocolate chips. Spread batter evenly in greased pan.
  • Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter on top of the batter, scattering evenly. (Warm peanut butter for a few minutes in the microwave beforehand if it's thick.) Then use a toothpick to swirl peanut butter.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes if using a light metal pan, or 35-35 if using a dark metal pan or glass pan. When brownies are done, a toothpick inserted in the center will have moist crumbs but no raw batter. Cool at least 15 minutes before cutting.
