Carefully chop rows of the Whittaker's Peanut Butter & Jelly Block into individual squares, then gently alternate and push the squares into the brownie batter.

How to make peanut butter and jelly brownies

INGREDIENTS

300g butter
3/4 cup dark cocoa
2 1/2 cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
150g Whittaker's Peanut Butter & Jelly Block - 3 rows of Jelly and 3 rows of Peanut Butter
1/4 cup Pic's Smooth Peanut Butter
1/4 cup Boysenberry jam or jelly

METHOD

Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius fan bake

Grease and a line a baking tine (we used a 20cm x 30cm tin)

Melt the butter and cocoa. Once melted, add the brown sugar

Quickly beat in the eggs one at a time

Mix in the flour and pour into the tin

Chop up the rows of Peanut Butter and Jelly block carefully into individual squares (keep each half separate and ensure the filling remains encased in each square )

Alternating between Jelly and Peanut butter, push the squares evenly into the brownie, so that the brownie batter covers each.

Dollop the batter with the peanut butter and jelly. Run a small knife through the batter in vertical and horizontal lines until you create a swirled, marbled pattern

Bake for 30 minutes or until firm around the edges

When cool, cut into squares

The Whittaker's chocolate block will only be available in stores for a limited time only, so shoppers should act quickly.

Whittaker's co-Chief Operating Officer, Holly Whittaker said this is the first time the company has incorporated two flavoured into one chocolate block.

'Whittaker's Chocolate Lovers can enjoy the delicious taste of either the peanut butter or boysenberry jelly filled pieces, or stack them together to make their own peanut butter and jelly 'sandwich',' she said.

'With different flavours at each end of the block, there's a fun element of discovery for those who like both of the flavours or the combination of them together, or for sharing between people who have different flavour preferences.'
