Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Melt the butter in a heatproof bowl over a pan of just simmering water. Once melted, add the chocolate and mix until the chocolate has just melted. Remove from the heat and allow to cool a little.
step 2
Beat the eggs and sugar together with an electric whisk in a large bowl until light and fluffy, then fold in the cocoa and almonds, followed by the melted butter and chocolate mix.
step 3
Pour into a buttered and baking-paper lined 20cm square and 6cm deep baking tin. Dollop on then swirl in spoonfuls of the peanut butter, marbling it into the batter.
step 4
Bake for 50 minutes – 1 hour until the brownie is just coming away from the sides of the tin, but still has a slight wobble in the middle. Cool for 30 minutes then cut into squares and serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce and a spoonful of ice cream.
