Instructions

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8” x 8” pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
   
2. Mix all the ingredients for the chocolate layer in a large mixing bowl, adding in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt last. Lightly fold in the flour and cocoa powder until just mixed. (Do not over mix or the brownies will turn out cake-like).
   
3. Mix the ingredients for the peanut butter brownie layer, again saving the flour, baking powder and salt for last and stirring until just mixed.
4. Spread peanut butter brownie layer on the bottom of the pan and top it with the chocolate brownie layer, spreading the batter for both layers out evenly.
   
5. Bake for 22 minutes. Brownies will still be soft and gooey, but will finish setting while they cool. Enjoy! 

Substitutions

Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies are a delicious dessert that can be made with just a few simple ingredients. However, if you're out of one of the key ingredients, or simply want to try something new, there are several substitutes that can be used in place of the chocolate, peanut butter, or even the brownies themselves.
For example, instead of using chocolate chips, you could use chopped up chocolate bars or even cocoa powder. If you don't have any peanut butter on hand, almond butter or sunflower seed butter make excellent replacements. And if you're looking for a gluten-free option, you can substitute the brownie mix for a recipe that uses almond flour or another type of gluten-free flour. With so many options available, there's no need to let a missing ingredient stop you from enjoying Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies.

Storage

Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies are a delicious and easy to make treat. They are perfect for a quick snack or a dessert. But how long can you store Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies in the fridge?

Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks. This is because the chocolate and peanut butter act as preservatives, preventing the brownies from going bad. However, after two weeks, the Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies will start to dry out and lose their flavor.

So, if you want to enjoy Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies at their best, it is best to eat them within two weeks of storing them in the fridge.
