– line a baking tray or cake tin with grease proof paper and pour in the batter.
– separately mix together all of the ingredients for the peanut swirl, if your peanut butter won’t mix well heat it in the microwave for 20 second, it should form a thick yet pourable mixture
– swirl the mixture ontop of the brownie base and bake on 160C for 20-25 minutes
– you want it to be crunchy on the outside but still moist and gooey on the inside so to check if it’s cooked don’t use a skewer like you would for a cake, once the top starts to crack and it springs back when touched it’s done
– decorate with choc chips (optional)
