I almost feel guilty about sharing the recipe for these Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Brownies. Please don’t blame me when you taste these and devour half the pan. Delicious homemade brownies with peanut butter cups baked right in the batter. Truly a peanut butter lovers dream. These peanut butter cup brownies are out of this world and they are going to become a favorite for sure!
Start by melting the butter and chocolate chip together over a low heat. Transfer to mixing bowl and let cool.
Once cooled, stir in sugar, then eggs and vanilla. Once those are well mixed, add dry ingredients and stir well. Doesn’t that brownie batter look thick and luscious?
Gently press in peanut butter cups.
And bake.

These were fantastic! I just changed one thing. Instead of pouring all the batter in the pan, I poured 2/3 of the batter in. I then pressed in the peanut butter cups and topped with the remaining batter, smoothing to cover entire top. Delicious!💕♥️❤️
