Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownies

The girls in my office are big big BIG fans of brownies and we as a collective have embarked on the search for the best brownie recipe. Whenever I make brownies they are always enthusiastically taste tested in the office.Due to the quality of chocolate and the peanut butter these brownies are not too sweet and are ideal for sweet and savoury lovers alike.
Ingredients for crunchy peanut butter chocolate brownies
225g crunchy peanut butter (I use Waitrose essentials)
200g bar dark chocolate, broken into pieces (minimum 70% cocoa content)
280g soft light brown sugar (caster sugar is an ok substitute)
3 medium eggs (room temperature)
100g self-raising flour
Method for these yummy brownies
1. Leave 50g each of the peanut butter and chocolate to the side. 

2. Heat oven to 180C (160C fan/gas 4).Line a 20cm square baking tin with baking paper. 

3. Gently melt 175g peanut butter, 150g chocolate and all of the sugar in a saucepan, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has just about melted. 

4.Turn off heat and stir for a few moments allowing the mixture to cool a little but not to set.

5. Use a wooden spoon to beat in the eggs one by one. Stir in the flour and scrape into the prepared baking tin.
6. Melt the reserved peanut butter in the microwave on High for 45 secs, or in a pan, until runny, then drizzle over the brownie. 

7. Bake for 30-35 mins until it has a crust, but the middle still seems slightly uncooked.
8. Melt reserved chocolate, drizzle over the brownie, then cool in the tin before cutting into squares.
