Best Peanut Butter Layered Brownies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons room temperature butter
4 ounces semisweet chocolate
1/4 - 1/3 cup butter
1/4 cup milk

Preparation

Brownie Layer.
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
Microwave unsweetened chocolate with 3/4 butter on high for 1 1/2 minutes.
Stir till chocolate is completely melted.
Stir granulated sugar into melted chocolate.
Mix in eggs and 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla; blend well.
Stir in flour and walnuts.
Spread into 13x9-inch greased pan.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes.
DO NOT OVER BAKE.
Cool.
Peanut butter layer:
Mix peanut butter, 3 tablespoons butter, powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in another bowl.
Blend till smooth, adding up to 1/4 cup of milk to make it a nice spreading consistency.( You may need more milk to make it spreadable, this part can be a little difficult, if the peanut butter does not spread easily, make sure you dip your spatula in water. Sometimes I even have to sprinkle alittle water on top of the peanut butter to smooth).
Spread over the cooled brownies.
Top Layer:
Microwave semisweet chocolate for 1 1/2 minutes with the 1/4 cup butter.
Stir till smooth.
Spread over peanut butter layer.
Cool until set.
