From The Fannie Farmer Cookbook (1990):

Chewy Peanut Butter Brownies

1/2 C. peanut butter
4 T butter, softened  (I use real butter, salted)
1 C. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla (I use real vanilla — not that imitation stuff)
2 eggs
2/3 C. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt1/2 C. chopped salted peanuts (I just throw in a bunch & don’t chop them)

You can use the recipe’s instructions or just do what I do:  Melt the butter in a big bowl & add all of the other ingredients except the peanuts.  Stir.  Add peanuts.  Stir.

Bake in a greased 8-inch square baking pan at 350 degrees for 25 – 30 minutes.

Also good with chocolate chips on top.

The recipe says this makes 16 servings.  Yeah, right…  You may want to double or quad the recipe…

Enjoy!
