Brownie Batter:
1cup unsalted butter (melted)
2cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1cup all-purpose flour
1cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1cup semisweet chocolate chips
Peanut Butter Swirl:
1/2cup creamy peanut butter
1/2cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons butter (softened)
2–3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir into wet mixture until just combined, then fold in chocolate chips.

Make Peanut Butter Swirl: In a small bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, and milk until smooth and spreadable. Drop spoonfuls over the brownie batter and swirl with a knife.

Cool and Serve: Cool completely before slicing into squares.
Notes
For an extra-rich version, drizzle melted chocolate or add chopped peanut butter cups on top after baking.
