Peanut Butter-Fudge Brownies

== Description ==
* Cook Time: 10 minutes work + 15–20 minutes of baking + 30 minutes to cool 
* Serves: 16
== Ingredients ==
* oil or butter for the pan (if it's not non-stick)
* ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter
* 1 cup peanut butter
* 1 cup (packed) light brown sugar
* 4 large eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
* 1 cup unbleached white flour
* ¼ teaspoon salt (if using unsalted peanut butter)
* 1¼ cups semisweet chocolate chips
* ½ cup minced peanuts
== Directions ==
# Preset the oven to 350°F.
# While oven is preheating, lightly grease a 9x13 inch pan (unless you're using a nonstick pan).
# In medium-large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on high speed to cream together the butter, peanut butter and sugars.
# Lower the speed to medium, and add the eggs in one at a time, as well as the vanilla, beating well between each ingredient.
# Then, stir in the remaining ingredients, mixing by hand until everything is uniformly blended.
# Pour the batter into the greased pan, and bake on the center oven rack for 15 to 20 minutes or until the top feels firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
# Cut while still hot, but let brownies cool in pan for at least 30 minutes prior to serving.
# Can be served warm, cold or at room temperature.
