Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, warm 1 cup of smooth peanut butter for 30 seconds. Spread it into a lined 20cm square pan and sprinkle half of the salt flakes on top. Freeze for 2-3 hours.
  2. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line the same pan with fresh baking paper.
  3. Melt 200g of unsalted butter with 1 1/4 cups of dark chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Mix in 1 cup of brown sugar, then add 3 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. Sift in 1/2 cup of plain flour, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, and 1/8 teaspoon of kosher salt into the batter. Fold until just combined.
  5. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Place the frozen peanut butter slab on top, then pour the remaining batter over it, covering completely.
  6. Warm 2 tablespoons of reserved peanut butter until runny. Dollop it onto the top brownie layer and create swirls with a knife.
  7. Bake for 32 minutes until edges are firm but the center is slightly jiggly. Cool on the countertop for 1 hour and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
