Brownie Layer
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 pan with foil and then grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mix sugar and cocoa powder together.
Mix in the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
Add the flour and salt and mix until just combined, fold in the chocolate chips and then spread into the greased pan.
Bake for 32-34 minutes. Cool.
Peanut Butter Layer
Place peanut butter and butter together in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second increments until butter is almost melted and stir until smooth.
Mix in the vanilla extract and then the powdered sugar. Spread over the cooled brownies.
Place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Chocolate Ganache
Meanwhile, place the chocolate chips and butter together in a small sauce pan. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly until almost fully melted.
Remove from heat and keep stirring until smooth. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Pour over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly. Refrigerate until set.
Once set, lift brownies out of the pan by holding the edges of the foil. Slice into squares and serve.
