Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1 box brownie mix (with ingredients required as per package instructions)
  • 15 full-sized Reese’s Cups

Peanut Butter Frosting

  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 & 1/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 & 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring easy removal of the brownies after baking, then set aside.
  2. Mix Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Once mixed, spread about two-thirds of the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish to create the base layer.
  3. Add Reese’s Cups: Arrange 15 full-sized Reese’s Cups evenly over the brownie batter in the pan, gently pressing them down slightly so they nestle into the batter.
  4. Top with Remaining Batter: Carefully spread the remaining one-third of the brownie batter over the Reese’s Cups, fully covering them to encase the peanut butter cups within the brownies.
  5. Bake Brownies: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Test doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  6. Cool the Brownies: Remove the brownies from the oven and transfer the pan to a wire rack. Allow brownies to cool completely to room temperature before frosting.
  7. Prepare Peanut Butter Frosting: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and creamy peanut butter using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  8. Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar a bit at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping down the bowl sides to combine thoroughly. The frosting will become thick.
  9. Incorporate Cream and Vanilla: Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, stirring until combined. Increase mixer speed to medium-high and whip for 2 minutes until the frosting becomes light, fluffy, and spreadable.
  10. Remove Brownies from Pan: Use the edges of the parchment paper to carefully lift the cooled brownies out of the baking dish onto a flat surface.
  11. Frost the Brownies: Spread the peanut butter frosting evenly across the top of the brownies. Serve immediately or add your favorite toppings for extra flair.

Notes

  • Ensure brownies are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
  • You can substitute the brownie mix with your favorite homemade brownie recipe if preferred.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For firmer frosting, refrigerate for 15 minutes before spreading.
  • Optional toppings like chopped peanuts or chocolate chips can add extra texture and flavor.
