Reese’s Stuffed Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 c Butter, melted

• ⅔  c Cocoa, preferred brand Valrhona  

• 1 ¾ c Sugar

• ¼ c Brown Sugar

• ½ Tsp baking powder

• 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

• ½ Tsp Salt

• 4 Eggs

• 1 c Flour

• ½ c Peanut Butter

• 4 Packages of 8 (.55 ounce) Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, divided

Directions

Preheat the Oven to 350F

1. Mix flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Set aside.

2. In another bowl, whisk melted butter, sugar and vanilla.

3. Add eggs one at a time and mix well. 

4. Microwave the peanut butter for 30 seconds and then mix well into the butter/sugar mixture (microwaving makes it easier to stir into the batter).

5. Add flour mixture and mix until incorporated.

6. Add ½ the batter into a 9x13 greased pan lined with parchment paper.  Then add a single layer of Reese’s cups (you will use 3 packages), top with remaining batter and smooth it out with a spatula.  

7. Cut the remaining Reese’s into small pieces (it will be about 1 cup). Sprinkle evenly over the top.

8. Bake for 40 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely, cut into squares.
