Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, beat together the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, canola oil, and vanilla extract until light and frothy.
  5. Melt the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter together in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth, then mix in the cocoa powder.
  6. Gradually combine the melted chocolate mixture with the egg mixture, then fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  7. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Dollop spoonfuls of peanut butter filling and marshmallow fluff on top, and swirl with a knife.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 26-32 minutes until edges are set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Remove from the oven and cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and slicing into bars.
