Equipment

Ingredients

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate chopped
½ cup salted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon Kosher salt
1 cup all purpose flour
¼ cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup jam any flavor

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8 pan, line it with enough parchment paper that extra comes up over the sides (for easy removal) and then grease the parchment paper and set aside.
Melt chocolate and butter in a large, microwave safe bowl by microwaving it for 30 seconds, stirring, microwaving for 30 seconds more, stirring again and then continuing to microwave in 15 second increments and stirring between until it's fully melted. You can also use a double boiler.
Once it's fully melted and smooth, add to a mixing bowl and whisk in sugar.
Next, whisk in each egg followed by vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
Stir in flour with a spoon until it's fully combined.
Pour batter into the prepared pan pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Warm peanut butter and your jam separately for around 20-30 seconds each to soften them a bit.
Add spoonfuls of the peanut butter and the jam, alternating them over the batter.
Using a butter knife, swirl the peanut butter and fruit spread together. Try not to over-swirl for the prettiest marbling.
Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes or until set.
Cool completely (brownies tend to do a lot of crossover cooking) and then use the parchment to remove the brownies in once piece and cut them into 12 pieces. Serve immediately.
