Ingredients
  

For the Brownies
  • 3/4 cup Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder Provides rich chocolate flavor; unsweetened cocoa can work in a pinch.
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Adds depth and richness; choose high-quality for best results.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Adds moisture and richness; if unavailable, use salted with caution.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens brownies while contributing to a glossy top; brown sugar can deepen flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Molasses Enhances moisture and offers a subtle caramel note; optional if preferred.
  • 2 large Eggs Essential for binding and creating a fudgy texture; don’t skip this ingredient!
  • 1/2 cup Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey Infuses a delightful whiskey flavor; alcohol bakes off but can substitute with another whiskey.
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Must-have for enhancing flavor; beautifully balances chocolate notes.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; swap for 1-to-1 gluten-free flour for gluten-free option.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness; adjust amount if using salted butter.
For the Peanut Butter Buttercream Frosting
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar Sweetens and gives a smooth consistency for the frosting; a must for that creamy texture.
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter Essential for adding nutty flavor; gives frosting its delightful creaminess.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter over a simmering pot using a double boiler, stirring until smooth (about 5–7 minutes).
  3. Stir in granulated sugar and molasses, followed by cocoa powder, until well combined and glossy.
  4. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in peanut butter whiskey and vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold in flour and salt until there are no visible streaks, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared dish, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, until the center is slightly soft but set.
  8. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the dish before frosting.
  9. Prepare the frosting by mixing softened butter, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and a splash of whiskey until light, fluffy, and creamy.
  10. Spread the frosting on the cooled brownies and slice into squares to serve.
