1. Can I use natural peanut butter instead of smooth?

Yes, but make sure it’s well stirred. Natural peanut butter can separate and may affect the texture, so if using, reduce any added oil slightly.

2. What can I use instead of white chocolate for the fudge?

You can substitute milk or dark chocolate, though it will change the color and sweetness. White chocolate provides the creamiest texture for this fudge layer.

3. How do I keep my brownies from becoming cakey?

Avoid overmixing once you add the flour, and don’t overbake. Slightly underbaking gives that perfect fudgy center.

4. Can these brownies be made gluten-free?

Yes! Simply replace the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. The texture remains rich and indulgent.
