• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Line a 9"x 13"x 2" pan with aluminum foil.

3. Whisk together flour and salt. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, combine chocolate mixture and 2 & 1/2 cups sugar using an electric mixer at medium speed. Mix until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla.
5. Gradually add flour mixture, beating just until combined. Stir in peanut butter chips. Spread batter in prepared pan.
6. Combine peanut butter and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth.
7. Drop peanut butter mixture by teaspoonfuls over brownie batter. Use a knife to swirl peanut butter mixture into brownie batter. Sprinkle top with peanut butter cups.
