Instructions
Prepare the baking pan
Preheat oven to 160°C and line or grease an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
Mix the brownie batter
In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Add eggs and vanilla
Add eggs and vanilla, then whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes.
Add cocoa powder and salt
Stir in cocoa powder and salt until fully combined.
Add oil and flour
Mix in oil, then gently fold in the flour until just combined (don't over mix).
Add chocolate and peanut butter chips
Fold in the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.
Bake the brownies
Spread batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Cool the brownies
Let the brownies cool completely before adding the peanut butter layer.
Prepare peanut butter layer
Mix the peanut butter and melted butter together. Fold in the powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until combined (should be thick).
Spread peanut butter layer
Spread the peanut butter layer over the cooled brownies.
Make chocolate ganache
Melt the chocolate and heavy cream together. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Stir in the butter until melted and glossy.
Cool the ganache
Let the ganache cool slightly.
Spread ganache
Spread the cooled ganache over the peanut butter layer.
