Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray an 8-inch by 8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
In a food processor, combine all ingredients except last five ingredients. Puree until completely smooth and uniform.
Fold in 1 tablespoon chocolate chips.
Spread mixture into the baking pan, and smooth out the top.
In a medium bowl, combine powdered peanut butter, remaining 1 tbsp. Truvia, and remaining dash of salt. Add 1/4 cup water, and mix until smooth and uniform. Add creamy peanut butter, and stir until uniform.
Spoon topping onto the brownie batter, and swirl it in with a knife. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon chocolate chips, and lightly press into the batter.
Bake until a toothpick (or knife) inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
Let cool completely, about 1 hour.
