Gluten-free Peanut Butter and Chocolate Brownies

My favourite combination of salty and sweet, I was in desperate need of this chocolate fix this week. Quick and easy to make, these brownies are a hit. The dark chocolate drops create an intense richness to the cake and the peanut butter swirl topping is the perfect complement. I. LOVE. THESE! They also a fantastic individually wrapped up in the freezer for instant gratification whenever needed.
