Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 15x 10 x 1 inch
baking pan with foil, extending the foil over
the edges of the pan. Grease the foil; set pan
aside. In a medium bowl stir together flour,
salt, and baking soda; set aside.
In a large heavy saucepan combine the
1 cup butter, the 6 ounces semisweet
chocolate, and the unsweetened chocolate.
Heat and stir over low heat until melted and
smooth. Remove pan from heat; whisk in
granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla
until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time,
whisking well after each addition. Add flour
mixture to chocolate mixture; stir just until
combined. Stir in peanuts. Spread the batter
evenly in the prepared pan.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a
wooden toothpick inserted near the center
comes out with moist crumbs. Cool in pan
on a wire rack.
For frosting, in a large mixing.bowl
combine peanut butter and the 1/4 cup butter.
Beat with an electric mixer on medium to
high speed until combined. Add 2 cups of the
powdered sugar; beat on low to medium
speed until combined. Beat in 2 tablespoons
of the milk and the remaining powdered
sugar. Beat in enough ofthe remaining milk,
1 tablespoon at a time, until frosting is
spreading consistency. Spread frosting
evenly over cooled brownies. Chill brownies
for at least 20 minutes.
For glaze, in a small saucepan bring the
whipping cream to boiling. Remove from
heat. Add the 8 ounces semisweet chocolate.
Let stand for 5 minutes (do not stir). Whisk
chocolate mixture until smooth and shiny.
Let glaze cool about 30 minutes or until
lukewarm. Drizzle glaze over chilled
brownies. Tilt pan back and forth to evenly
distribute a thin layer of glaze over the
peanut butter frosting. Let stand until glaze
is set. Use the foil to lift the uncut brownies
out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Cut
into bars. Makes 40 brownies.

single layer in an airtight container; cover.
Store in the refrigerator up to 3 days. |
