Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and semi-sweet chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
Step 3: Whisk in granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
Step 4: Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the mixture until just combined.
Step 5: Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let cool completely.
Step 6: For the frosting, beat peanut butter and softened butter together. Add powdered sugar and mix, adding milk as needed to reach a spreadable consistency.
Step 7: Spread the frosting over cooled brownies. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and peanut butter candies. Slice and serve!
