Add the remaining brownie batter over the peanut butter mixture and spreading it out. Drop dollops of the remaining peanut butter on top and with a knife start to swirl the mixture together.
- Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes until baked to your desired doneness. Let the brownie cool before slicing and top with a sprinkle with some sea salt.
