Servings: persons

1 stick Unsalted Butter, Cut In 1/2-inch Pieces
5 ounces, weight Baking Milk Chocolate, Chopped (See Note)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2/3 cups Flour
2 Tablespoons Natural Cocoa Powder
2 teaspoons Instant Espresso Powder
1/2 teaspoons Salt
2 whole Large Eggs
2/3 cups Sugar
1/2 cups Heavy Cream
6 ounces, weight White Baking Chocolate, Finely Chopped
1/2 cups Creamy Peanut Butter
1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter, Chopped
1 pinch Salt
1 dash Vanilla Extract
1/4 cups Roasted, Peanuts, Roughly Chopped, For Topping

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan, line with parchment paper and grease again. Set a glass or metal bowl over a pot of simmering water or use a double boiler. Add the milk chocolate and butter to the bowl, and stir frequently until melted. Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla and let cool slightly.
2
In a bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, espresso powder and salt. Using a standing mixer, beat the eggs and sugar together over high speed until pale and creamy, about 1 1/2-2 minutes. Stir in the chocolate mixture. Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake 20-25 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool.
3
While the brownies are cooling, prepare the ganache. Combine the white chocolate, butter, peanut butter and salt in a bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Pour the warm cream over the chocolate mixture and allow it to sit for a minute or two. Whisk the mixture until smooth, and stir in the vanilla.
4
Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies and allow it to set up for about 20 minutes or until partially firmed. Top with the nuts, sprinkle with sea salt and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until the ganache is completely set. Remove the brownies from the pan, peel away the parchment paper and cut into 16 squares. Enjoy.
5
Note: If using very light milk chocolate, I just use 4 ounces of that combined with 1 ounce of semi-sweet chocolate.
