As promised Mr Whittaker’s brownies recreated for all of you who are in parts of the world where you can’t get his amazing chocolate. I have added extra peanut butter to the recipe as I found the original version didn’t have a strong peanut butter taste, this version I went all out. Most peoples comments have been they taste like a snickers bar so mission accomplished I think. I haven’t changed the recipe very much as it was so amazing to begin with, just extra peanutty.
Enjoy  xx
Peanut Brownies
Â
200g butterÂ
2 cups sugar
200g dark chocolate Â
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
4 eggs
Â
Caramel
Â
50g butter
390g sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 tbsp golden syrupÂ
Â
1/2 cup of extra peanut butter to assembleÂ
Â
Pre heat the oven to 180C
Place the butter, sugar, chocolate and peanut butter into a double boiler and heat on a medium heat until the ingredients have melted and combined.
Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the chocolate mixture and stir though. Add the eggs one at a time beating after each addition. Set aside
Â
To make the caramel place the butter, condensed milk and golden syrup into a saucepan, and on a medium heat boil until the mixture becomes golden brown. Make sure you constantly stir otherwise it will stick to the bottom and burn.
Â
To assemble, pour half of the brownie mixture into a lined 20x30cm tin. Then dollop on 2/3 of the caramel and the extra peanut butter. Pour over the remaining brownie mixture and dot over the rest of the caramel. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until cooked.

We would love some with ice cream please!!! lol Looks delicious!
Yeah you have to go all out, with these little baby’s 🙂
Can’t say no to more peanut butter! These brownies look amazing, especially with that scoop of just melting ice cream on top (:
Me either I have an peanut butter addiction at the moment.
These brownies look like a slice of rich, fudgy heaven! My only regret is not having discovered Mr. Whittaker’s when I was in New Zealand several years ago! It has already gone on my “Must Do” List for next time!
You will have to put it on your list, if you venture back to nz let me know and I’ll give you a list of things to eat and try while your there 🙂
