Reese's Peanut Butter Brownies

This is a recipe that has been tested in my kitchen here (using a “miracle oven” over gas stovetop). Therefore, it comes out in a form slightly like a 2-tone bundt cake. It has been field tested here on Aussies, Brits, Scots, Irish, Dutch, Nepalese, Americans, etc. with favourable reviews!
