Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep an 8×8 inch baking pan with buttered parchment, place on a baking sheet.

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, chocolate, and vanilla, stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat and add the brown sugar, stirring until combined.

Crack the eggs in a small bowl and temper using some of the chocolate mixture. Add the tempered eggs back into the main chocolate mixture.

Pour the flour into a bowl and fold in the chocolate mixture. Pour into the prepped pan.

In another medium saucepan over low heat, stir the peanut butter, butter, and brown sugar, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and again temper an egg, then fold in the flour.

Pour the peanut butter mixture on top of the brownie batter.

Once cooled, use a heart shape cutter to cut out hearts. Use a smaller heart cutter to cut out the center.

Place the brownie on a plate and fill with softened vanilla ice cream, to serve.
