Ingredients
  

Brownie Base

  • 20 ounces Triple Chocolate Brownie Mix An indulgent mix that delivers a rich chocolate flavor.
  • 1/2 cup salted butter (softened) Adds moisture and a hint of saltiness.
  • 2 whole eggs (room temperature) Essential for binding the ingredients.
  • 1/4 cup water Helps achieve the right batter consistency.

Peanut Butter Layer

  • 18 pieces Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures Chopped in half to create pockets of flavor.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 325° F.
  • In a mixer bowl, pour in the brownie mix along with the softened butter, room temperature eggs, and water. Beat at medium speed for about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides halfway.
  • Line an 8 x 8 or 11 x 13 baking dish with parchment paper or spray it generously with non-stick baking spray.
  • Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.
  • Unwrap and chop the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup miniatures in half.
  • Gently press the halved peanut butter cups down into the brownie batter.

Baking

  • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, turning the pan halfway through.
  • Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and texture. Chill your peanut butter cups for easier chopping. You can experiment with different kinds of brownie mixes or add various candies.
