JOBBIE Peanut Butter Brownies

Hey hey! We’re making brownies today!
And not just any brownies. Peanut butter brownies…oh YESSSS. If you could pick my two favorite flavors in the world and bring them together, you would have peanut butter and dark chocolate…and these peanut butter brownies would be the result.
Fudgy brownies are moist, dense and gooey, with almost the texture of fudge, but not quite as compact. They are truly decadent and rich in every bite. With freezing the batter before baking, not only make peanut butter stuffed in brownies easily, but also yield a super fudgy texture while you can reduce a big amount of sugar as fudgy brownies usually require a high ratio of sugar.

PREPARATION
- Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a square cake pan (20 cm x 20 cm) with baking paper, leaving an overhang.
