Ingredients

175 g butter, chopped, plus extra to grease
125 g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
250 g light brown soft sugar
2 medium eggs
125 g plain flour
25 g cocoa powder

For the peanut butter marble

25 g unsalted butter, melted
40 g icing sugar, sifted
100 g smooth peanut butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1. Step 1
  Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Grease and line a 20.5cm (8in) square tin with baking parchment. To make the brownie, melt butter and chocolate (stirring frequently) in a large pan until melted and smooth. Take off the heat and stir in sugar, then the eggs. Sift over the flour and cocoa powder and mix to combine. Set aside.
2. Step 2
  In a medium bowl, mix together the ingredients for the peanut butter marble.
3. Step 3
  Spoon about one-third of the chocolate mixture into the tin and spread to level. Dollop over a few spoonfuls of peanut mixture. Top with remaining chocolate mixture and spread to level. Drop more peanut spoonfuls on top, then tap the tin down firmly on a surface to release any air bubbles. Finally, run a knife or skewer through the mixture to marble it.
4. Step 4
  Bake for 35min until a solid crust has formed. Leave to cool completely in tin before lifting out. Slice.
