These brownies are perfect for any dessert lover looking to indulge in a balance of sweet and slightly salty bliss. The addition of almonds provides a pleasant crunch, making these brownies an irresistible delight.

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to make it easier to remove the brownies.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 20-30 second increments, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. You can use a whisk or an electric mixer for this step. Add the brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture, stirring constantly to fully integrate the chocolate.
Gently fold in the chopped almonds until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Drizzle the peanut butter over the top of the batter. Using a butter knife or a skewer, create swirls by dragging the knife through the peanut butter and batter to create a marbled effect.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure that your dark chocolate is of good quality to achieve the best flavor profile.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before starting to ensure it reaches the correct temperature when you're ready to bake.
- Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation into the batter.
- Mix the peanut butter well before using it to achieve a smooth swirl effect in the brownies.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make it easier to remove the brownies after baking.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting to ensure they hold their shape and texture.
