Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 inch square baking dish with foil so
the foil extends 2 inches beyond the sides of the pan. In a medium bowl
beat peanut butter, sugar and egg at medium speed for 1 minute or until
just combined. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan. Using your
fingertips, press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the
pan. In a medium bowl beat the butter and sugar for 4 minutes at high speed
or until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and continue beating
for 2 minutes or until creamy and smooth. Beat in cocoa and flour until
just combined. Stir in chocolate. Scrape the batter into the baking pan and
spread it evenly over the peanut butter layer. Bake the brownies for 30-35
minutes until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool the brownies in the pan
for at least 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Using the
foil as a handle, lift the brownies out of the pan. Invert brownies onto a
large surface and gently peel off foil. Invert again onto a smooth surface
and cut into 12 brownies.
