quick chocolate fix.
Makes 16 brownies
Nonstick cooking spray
1½ sticks (¾ cup) unsalted butter, cubed
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped

2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons espresso powder
3 large eggs
1½ cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
½ cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup peanut butter
¼ cup confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment
paper. Reserve.

almost completely melted, stir in cocoa powder and espresso pow-
der. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

pan to the preheated oven. Bake until edges are just dry, about 20
minutes. Cool completely and chill in the refrigerator overnight before
cutting and serving.
