Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Prepare peanut butter filling by combining all filling ingredients in a small bowl and beating with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Prepare brownies by placing butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high 2 minutes or until melted. Stir in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time; beat well with spoon after each addition. Add cocoa; beat until well blended. Add flour, baking powder and salt; beat well. Stir in chocolate chips. Remove 1 cup batter. Pour remaining batter into prepared pan. Spread peanut butter filling over top. Drop reserved chocolate batter by teaspoonfuls over filling. Using knife, gently swirl through top layers for marbled effect. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out almost clean. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
