  • 25g cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 100 g butter
  • 150 g crunchy peanut butter
  • 175 g  brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

What you’ll need to do:

2. Sift the flour, baking powder and coco powder into a small bowl and set aside.

3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and peanut butter together until very soft. Add the sugar, egg and vanilla extract and beat until well combined. Add the flour, baking powder, coco powder and the chopped chocolate and mix to form a dough.

5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin, before removing and cutting into squares.
