This month I contributed a special recipe to Recipe Redux. Our assignment: Favorite Chocolate Matches. With Valentine’s chocolate likely hanging around, the brief was to pair chocolate with your favorite healthy partner. My pick? The obvious classic: chocolate and peanut butter.

If my other chocolate-peanut butter creations didn’t give it away, this pairing was a no-brainer. Chocolate and peanut butter belong together — whether mixed, swirled, or spooned straight from the jar.

After seeing a chocolate almond butter version, I wanted to make a peanut butter version with my own twist. The result is thick, rich, and exactly like brownie batter — without sugars, oils, flours, or raw-egg concerns. Seriously, give me a spoon.

This version is on the thicker side, which makes it feel more like brownie batter and is easier to scoop. If you prefer a looser spread, add more warm water a tablespoon at a time until it’s the texture you like.

The espresso powder is optional but highly recommended — it brightens and deepens the chocolate flavor. A small pinch goes a long way to make the cocoa taste more intense and truly brownie-like.
