Ingredients

Peanut Butter Batter:

  • 2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup peanut butter

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tablespoons milk

Brownie Batter:

  • 2 cups white sugar

  • 1 cup butter, melted

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. Make peanut butter batter: Beat cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar, egg, and milk in a medium bowl until smooth. Set aside.

  3. Make brownie batter: Mix together sugar, melted butter, and vanilla in a large bowl until combined. Mix in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl; mix into batter until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips until incorporated.

  4. Set aside 1 cup brownie batter. Spread remaining brownie batter into the prepared dish. Spread peanut butter batter on top. Drop reserved chocolate batter by teaspoonfuls over the top. Using a knife, gently swirl through the top layers for a marbled effect.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out almost clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool completely, then cut into bars.
