Brownies:
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
3 teaspoons vanilla
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Peanut Butter Filling:
1/2 cup butter, softened

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Butter the bottom and sides of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Put a long piece of parchment paper in the bottom of the pan, and allow it to extend up the two sides.
Butter the parchment paper as well.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Remove from the heat and add the sugar, stir to combine.

Mix in cocoa, baking powder and salt.
Add flour and stir until just combined and there aren't any streaks of dry ingredients.
Pour into prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for around 25 minutes, and let cool completely.
While the brownies are cooling, make the peanut butter filling.
In a bowl with a mixer combine the ingredients and beat until smooth.
Add more milk if necessary to be spreadable.
Spread in an even layer over the brownies.

While the filling is setting make the ganache.
