Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar. Mix until combined.
Add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract; mix until smooth. Gradually stir in flour and salt until just combined.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for about 25 minutes or until set but still fudgy in the center. Let cool completely.
For the peanut butter filling, beat together melted butter, creamy peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add sifted powdered sugar until thick.
Once brownies are cooled, spread peanut butter filling on top and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to set.
For the chocolate topping, melt dark chocolate chips with heavy cream over low heat until smooth. Pour over set peanut butter layer and refrigerate again until fully set before cutting into squares.
