“Chubby Hubby” Brownies (With Peanut Butter & Pretz

Name: “Chubby Hubby” Brownies (With Peanut Butter & Pretzels)
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 stick Butter; 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract; 1-1/3 cup Granulated Sugar; 2 whole Eggs; 1/3 cups Unsweetened Cocoa Powder; 1 teaspoon Salt; 1 teaspoon Baking Powder; 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour; 1/4 cups Creamy Peanut Butter; 12 whole Regular Crunchy Pretzels (like Rold Gold)

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F and grease a small (8x8 or smaller) baking dish.
2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, microwave the butter for 30 seconds. To the melted butter, add the vanilla extract and granulated sugar. Stir in the eggs. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Finally, mix in the all-purpose flour.
3
Pour the thick mixture into your greased pan and distribute until the surface is mostly even. In a small measuring cup, microwave the peanut butter for 30 seconds. Use a butter knife to begin swirling dollops of the melted peanut butter into the surface of the brownie batter.
4
Next, take about a dozen regular-sized, salted pretzels (I used Rold Gold) and mash with your hands in a bowl until pieces are about 1 cm long. Sprinkle the pretzel bits over the batter, pressing some gently into the surface here and there, if desired. Place pan in the 350u00b0F oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the center does not jiggle when shaken. Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
