1/2 tsp baking powder |
1/4 tsp salt |
4 oz. semisweet chocolate |
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate |

3. Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
4. Melt the chocolates with the butter. Whisk in sugars and vanilla.
5. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the marscapone.
6. Whisk the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until the brownie batter is smooth.
7. Separately, beat the peanut butter with the 3 tbsp mascarpone and the powdered sugar.
8. Pour half of the brownie batter into the baking pan.
9. Dollop the peanut butter mixture on top and cover with the remaining batter.
