Step 1:Preheat the oven to 350ºF (325ºF if using a glass baking dish).

Step 2:Melt the chocolate and butter or margarine in a heavy saucepan over low heat

Step 3:Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients in order, one at a time (the eggs also go in one at a time)

Step 4:Pour the mixture into a 9\”x13\” pan that has been lined with foil and greased.

Step 5:Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Do not over bake - the center should still have slightly moist crumbs when tested with a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies.

Step 6:Cool thoroughly before cutting. (It is actually even better if it refrigerated overnight before cutting).

Step 1:

BROWNIE BATTER: Generously spray a 13\” x 9\” x 2\” baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer at medium speed, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy and well blended. Add the eggs and beat well for about one minute. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla and beat again. In a separate bowl, stir the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt together until well mixed. Add the dry mixture to the creamed mixture, a small amount at a time. Beat well with each addition and continue until thoroughly blended. Stir in the peanut butter chips. Set the mixture aside.

Step 2:

PEANUT BUTTER FILLING: In a small mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter and vegetable oil together. Add the sugar and flour and beat again. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth and well blended

Step 3:

Spread about half of the brownie batter in the prepared baking pan. Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the batter. Gently spread the remaining brownie batter evenly over the filling. Using a thin spatula or table knife, gently swirl the filling through the batter to create a marble like effect. Bake in a preheated oven at 350º for 30 minutes. Bake just until the center is set…. do not overbake. Remove from heat and place on a wire rack to cool.

Step 4:

FROSTING: Place the baking chocolate and peanut butter in a medium saucepan. Melt over low heat, stirring constantly, just until the chocolate is melted enough to blend with the peanut butter. Remove from heat and add the remaining ingredients. Stir until smooth and well blended. (If the frosting is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water, a tablespoon at a time, until you have reach the right consistency.) When the brownies are cooled to about room temperature, spread the frosting on top. Let stand for at least one hour before cutting the frosted brownies into squares. Store in a covered container. .

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Mix flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In the top of a double boiler or in microwave, melt chocolate and butter. Remove from heat.

Step 2:

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together 3 eggs and 1 cup sugar on high speed until thick and fluffy, about 5 minutes. On low speed, add reserved chocolate mixture and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add flour mixture and mix until just combined. Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan. Set aside.

Step 3:

Fit mixer with the paddle attachment, and in the bowl, beat together cream cheese, remaining eggs and yolks, remaining sugar and remaining vanilla on medium speed, until light and fluffy. Pour over chocolate mixture. Swirl with a knife gently. Bake until cheese mixture is golden and set, 30 to 35 minutes.

Step 1:To make base: In large bowl, combine sugar and butter; beat until creamy. Add eggs, vanilla and salt; mix well.

Step 2:In small micro proof bowl, melt 1 and 1/4 cups of the mini chocolate chips until smooth. Add melted chocolate and flour to first mixture. Pour into well greased 9 x 9 inch square pan. Set aside.

Step 3:To make topping: In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar and butter; beat until creamy. Add eggs, milk, flour and almond extract; beat well. Stir in remaining 3/4 cup of mini chocolate chips.

Step 4:in 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes. Best served chilled.

Step 1:Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 9X9×2 inch pan. Melt butter in 2-quart saucepan; remove from heat. Mix in cocoa, sugar and eggs. Stir in remaining ingredients except topping. Spread in pan. Bake 23 minutes

Step 2:Meanwhile, prepare topping: Melt butter in 1-quart saucepan; remove from heat. Mix in sugar, eggs and egg yolk.

Step 3:Stir in remaining ingredients. Immediately pour topping over brownies; spread evenly. Bake about 18 minutes longer or until firm; cool. Cut into 2 1/4 x 1 1/2 inch bars.
