Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup high-quality cocoa powder
  • 3 large fresh eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 10 to 12 unwrapped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Peanut Butter Frosting Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk

Instructions

  1. Prep and Melt Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan. Gently melt the butter in a saucepan, then whisk in the cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth and glossy, creating the rich chocolate base for your brownies.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is slightly fluffy. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture and fold in the all-purpose flour carefully to avoid overmixing, which helps keep the brownies tender and fudgy.
  3. Layer the Reese’s Cups: Pour half of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Arrange the unwrapped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups evenly on top of the batter, then pour the remaining brownie batter over to seal the cups inside.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  5. Prepare Peanut Butter Frosting: In a medium bowl, whip together creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream or milk until smooth and fluffy. Adjust the cream quantity as necessary to achieve a spreadable consistency.
  6. Frost and Serve: Spread the peanut butter frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Slice into squares and enjoy the decadent combination of fudgy brownies with a creamy peanut butter finish.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and other ingredients for smooth mixing and consistent batter and frosting.
  • Do not overbake to keep brownies gooey and fudgy; toothpick should come out with moist crumbs.
  • Cool or chill brownies completely before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Use natural, creamy peanut butter for best frosting texture and flavor.
  • Adjust powdered sugar and cream in frosting to customize sweetness and consistency.
