2.Stir butter and chocolate in a large saucepan over low heat until almost smooth. Remove from heat, cool for 10 minutes.

3.Stir sugars and eggs into chocolate mixture, then sifted flours and ¾ of the peanuts. Spread mixture into prepared pan. Drop slightly rounded teaspoonsful of peanut butter evenly over mixture. Push peanut butter into brownie mixture slightly with the back of a teaspoon. Sprinkle with remaining choc-coated peanuts.
