Double Fudge Peanut Butter Brownies
I picked up a really good box of brownie mix and then added a few extra surprises to make my Double Fudge Peanut Butter Brownies.
Equipment
- 1 non-stick baking dish 8 x 8-inch
- 1 mixing bowl Large
- 1 wooden skewer Large
- 1 rubber spatula
- 1 serving platter
Ingredients
- 1 17.6-ounce box Duncan Hines Decadent Double Fudge Brownie Mix Fudge packet included
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1/4 cup brewed coffee Cold
- 1 cup peanut butter Smooth
- 1/8 cup Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/8 cup Nestle pumpkin morsels
Garnishes:
- Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Nestle pumpkin morsels
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:350°F. for glass or metal pans.325°F. for dark non-stick pans.Brownies are done when a toothpick is inserted 1 inch from the edge of the pan, and it comes out clean. For an 8 x 8-inch pan, bake for 35-38 minutes. For a 9 x 9-inch pan, bake for 30-33 minutes. Add 3-5 minutes for dark non-stick pans.The brownie mix is a double fudge mix that includes a fudge pouch. I decided to add a few more goodies like peanut butter, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and some new Nestle pumpkin morsels. These extras should do the trick.Follow the instructions on the box. To the dry mix, I added a 1/4 cup mixture of the semi-sweet chocolate and pumpkin morsels, and a pinch of kosher salt, mixing the morsels to coat the chips well with the dry mix.For the wet ingredients, in another large mixing bowl, add the cold-brewed coffee, egg, water, oil, and fudge packet, and mix to combine.Next, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until just combined. Pour the batter into a buttered (to ensure brownies do not stick), greased 8 x 8-inch non-stick baking pan. Next, take 1 cup of smooth peanut butter and place spoonfuls randomly, all over the top. Take a large skewer and swirl the peanut butter through the batter. This way, every bite will have some of that creamy peanut butter. Bake at 325°F. for 35-35 minutes.Cool completely in a pan on a wire rack before cutting and serving.After cutting the brownies, arrange them on a serving platter and sprinkle the tops with a few more of the flavored chips.There you have it, my Double Fudge Peanut Butter Brownies.
