This is a super simple recipe that takes the best boxed brownie mix and swirls in a peanut mixture and amps it up with Reese's peanut butter cups. These are incredibly rich and just need a large glass of milk to go with it!
Ingredients:
1 box (18 oz) Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownie Mix (+eggs, oil, and water per package instructions)
8 full-size Reese's peanut butter cups, cut into 1 centimeter cubes
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 13x9 pan.
2. Mix the brownie batter according to package instructions, adding in eggs, oil, and water. Mix well.
3. Stir in 6 cubed Reese's peanut butter cups to the brownie batter. Reserving 1/2 cup of batter, spread brownie batter in the 13x9 pan.
4. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to mix peanut butter, melted butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar together, until texture is consistent.
5. Use a large spoon to drop spoonfuls of peanut butter mixture over the brownie batter in the 13x9 pan.
6. Drop spoonfuls of the reserved 1/2 cup brownie batter on top of the peanut butter mixture.
7. Use a knife to swirl the brownie batter and peanut butter mixture. Be careful not to mix the two batters together.
8. Sprinkle the remaining Reese's peanut butter cups on top of the batter.
9. Bake brownies for
10. Let brownies cool ALL the way before cutting. The peanut butter mixture needs to set completely.
