Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Grease the bottom of a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan with non-stick spray or butter.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, 1/4 cup of water, and 2 room temperature eggs. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
4
Gradually add the 22-ounce box of premium brownie mix to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
5
Evenly spread the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, creating a smooth layer.

In a separate bowl, beat together 1 1/4 cups of creamy peanut butter, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, 1/2 cup of sugar, 3 tablespoons of flour, 2 beaten eggs, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
7
Carefully spoon the peanut butter filling over the brownie batter. Using a rubber spatula, swirl the filling into the brownie batter to create a marble effect, taking care not to mix too vigorously.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Keep a close watch as you do not want to overbake; the brownies should be moist and fudgy.
