Description
Fudgy, rich, and loaded with peanut butter goodness, these Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Brownies transform a simple boxed brownie mix into a decadent treat packed with swirls of creamy peanut butter and chunks of mini Reese’s cups.
Ingredients
1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, halved
Optional: extra peanut butter cups for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to the brownie mix instructions (typically between 325°F and 350°F).
- Line an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the brownie batter as instructed on the box.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter over the batter and swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Sprinkle half of the halved mini Reese’s cups on top of the batter.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the top and spread to cover.
- Repeat the peanut butter swirl and sprinkle the remaining Reese’s cup halves on top.
- Bake according to package directions, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing for cleaner cuts.
Notes
Add chocolate chips to the batter for extra chocolate richness.
Use chopped roasted peanuts for added crunch.
Drizzle melted chocolate or peanut butter over the top after baking for decoration.
White chocolate Reese’s can be used for a twist.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week. Freeze for up to 2 months if needed.
