Brownies To Die For!

[kejohe]

Okay folks, here is one I made this evening that I mofified from a regular non-gluten-free recipe and it is sooooo yummy! Definately not a low cal/fat snack, but who cares?!?!

Chocolate Peanut-Butter Layer Brownies

6 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped or use chips

2 sticks butter (1cup)

2 1/2 granulated sugar

6 large eggs

2 tsp vanilla

2/3 C rice flour

1/3 C tapioca flour/starch

1/3 C potato starch

1/2 tsp xanthan gum

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 C peanut-butter (chunky or creamy, you decide)

6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips, optional

Preheat oven to 325, and spray or butter a 12" cake pan.

Melt first amount of chocolate in a microwave safe bowl, stirring after every 10 seconds, unitl smooth, or melt in the top part of a double boiler, set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, or in the bowl of your mixer combine butter and sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla. In a seperate bowl combine dry ingredients and add this slowly to the butter mixture beating until combined.

Split the batter in half and mix the peanut butter with half and the melted chocolate with the other half, fold the chocolate chips into which ever batter you want.

Spread one layer evenly in the pan. Drop second layer by large spoonful onto bottom layer and spread out carefully to form an even layer. Bake brownies in the center of your oven for 50 - 60 minutes, or until a tester comes out with crumbs adhearding to it, but no batter.

Makes 30 - 40 thick brownies

FYI - I baked mine at 350 for the smae time as the original recipe and it got just a little too dark on the outside before the center was done, so I extended the time and lowered the temp for you in the instructions above, but if you find it's baking too slowly, bump up the temp. Also, this makes a ton, so I'm freezing most of mine in individual little baggies so I can grab and go!

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
