- 1½ cup Unsalted Butter, softened, divided

- 14 oz Bittersweet Chocolate, chopped, divided
- 1½ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1½ tsp Pure Vanilla Extract, divided
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 4 Large Eggs
- ⅔ cup Brown Rice Flour
- ⅓ cup Potato Starch
- ½ tsp Xanthan Gum
- 1 cup Roasted Salted Peanuts, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup Chunky Commercial Peanut Butter (do not use natural)
- ¾ cup Confectioners’ Sugar
- 1 tbsp Whole Milk
- Begin with the Basics:
Start by warming your oven to a snug 325°F. Take a 9 x 13-inch baking pan and line it with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Give the foil a light greasing.
- Chocolate Meltdown:
In a saucepan, gently melt together ¾ cup of butter with the unsweetened and half the bittersweet chocolate over a flame. Stir them. Once done, pull it off the heat and let it cool for 5 to 7 minutes.
- Whisking Wonders:
Into this cooled chocolate marvel, whisk in the granulated sugar, a teaspoon of vanilla, and a hint of salt, followed by the eggs, one by one. Gradually whisk in the rice flour, potato starch, and xanthan gum. Fold in the coarsely chopped peanuts and spread into your prepared pan.
- Baking Brilliance:
Slide your pan into the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick whispers tales of crumbs. Let the brownie base cool completely in its pan, resting on a cooling rack.
- Peanut Butter Cloud:
In a bowl, blend the peanut butter with 4 tablespoons of butter, starting with your mixer then rising to a high. Into this fluff, beat in the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and the remaining vanilla, transforming it. Gently spread this layer over your cooled brownies and let it chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set.
- Chocolate Cloak:
Melt the remaining chocolate and butter together over a low heat. Spoon this mixture over the peanut butter layer.
- The Final Chill:
Cover the brownies lightly with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least an hour.
- Serve with Love:
Lift the brownies from the pan using the foil's wings. Cut them into pieces and let them warm in room temperature.
