I said rotary - meaning radial. Nothing was mentioned about stationary

  Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square pan or Pyrex
  dish.
  
  Stir together the flour, cocoa and salt, and set aside.
  
  With an electric mixer, cream the peanut butter and butter
  until light and fluffy. Add the sugar and brown sugar, and
  continue beating. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after
  each addition. Beat in the vanilla, then gradually add the
  flour mixture and continue beating until well incorporated.
  
  Stir the peanuts and 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips into the
  batter. Pour batter into prepared pan, and bake for 30 to 35
  minutes until firm. Remove from oven and sprinkle the
  remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips over the surface of the
  hot brownies. Wait a few minutes, and then spread the
  softened chocolate evenly. Cool completely before cutting.
  
  Makes 16 2-inch brownies.
