Softened to a spreadable consistency, various techniques exist for efficiently tenderizing softened cream cheese or butter.

Letting butter or cream cheese sit at room temperature for a few hours allows it to soften naturally. When you initiate the brownie-making process, by the time they have cooled sufficiently for frosting, your butter and cream cheese will have reached a state of ideal softness.

Peanut Butter Frosting for Brownies

To prepare the frosting, blend together the cream cheese, butter, and peanut butter in a spacious mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer, utilizing the wire whisk attachment for optimal thoroughness, ensuring a seamless combination.

As you gradually incorporate the powdered sugar into the mixture, continue to whisk until the desired level of fluffiness is achieved. The frosting should be richly textured, velvety smooth, and effortlessly piped. If the mixture becomes overly dense, consider introducing a tablespoon of cream or milk, then re-emulsify; augment further with liquid only as required.

Carefully layer the frosting evenly across the fully set brownies, then refrigerate for a duration of one to two hours to achieve a solidified consistency. Slice into bars. Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or consider refrigerating them for up to five days and freezing for up to two months.

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Preheat a 9×13-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or aluminum foil, ensuring a non-stick surface; generously coat the interior with melted butter to prevent sticking.

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter has fully dissolved, combine 2 cups of chocolate chips and continue stirring with a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate has melted completely.

Withdraw the mixture from the heat source, then gently incorporate the sugar by stirring until well combined. After incorporating the vanilla, gently whisk or stir in the eggs, one at a time. As the mixture reaches a velvety consistency and a radiant sheen, proceed to gradually incorporate the dry components into the saucepan.

Combine 3/4 cup of chocolate chips into the dough. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, ensuring it covers the entire surface. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center reveals tender, slightly damp crumbs. Allow the bars to reach room temperature and fully set before applying a layer of frosting.
