This recipe is on the easier side to make just requires a brownie recipe and nine Reese’s peanut butter cups!
Ingredients
-
* 1/2 cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
-
* 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
-
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
* 2 large eggs
-
* 1/2 cup (40 grams) natural unsweetened cocoa powder
-
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
-
* 9 full-size peanut butter cups unwrapped
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined.
-
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
-
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Place the peanut butter cups on top of the brownie batter.
-
Add the remaining brownie batter on top and spread into one even layer, making sure all of the peanut butter cups are covered.
-
For an 8×8 inches glass pan, bake 350°F for 30-35 minutes or until the tops of the brownies look set. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice into 9-12 squares, serve, and enjoy!
These were honestly the best brownies I have ever made and you should make them for the next person you know who is having a birthday or special occasion! They will be impressed.
