Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Unsalted Butter: Use high-quality butter for the richest flavor; melt it gently to keep it creamy.

• Granulated Sugar: This sweetener helps create that perfect chewy texture; don’t skimp on it!

• Brown Sugar: For added moisture and depth of flavor; light or dark works well.

• Large Eggs: Bring them to room temperature for better mixing; they help bind everything together.

• All-Purpose Flour: This is your base; sift it before measuring for a lighter brownie.

• Cocoa Powder: Use unsweetened cocoa for that rich chocolatey goodness; Dutch-processed adds nice depth.

• Baking Powder: Just a teaspoon will give your brownies that perfect lift without being cake-like.

• Salt: A pinch enhances all flavors beautifully; don’t skip this step!

• Peanut Butter: Creamy or crunchy, your choice! It brings richness and nutty flavor to the mix.

• REESE’S PIECES: These colorful candies add a fun crunch and sweetness that’s hard to resist!

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Melt the Butters and Sugars Together: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter along with granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Stir continuously until everything is well combined.

Add Eggs and Peanut Butter: Remove from heat and let cool slightly before whisking in the eggs one at a time along with the creamy peanut butter. Mix until blended perfectly!

Sift Dry Ingredients Together: In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This ensures no lumps remain so your brownies turn out extra smooth.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined—be careful not to overmix!

Add REESE’S PIECES Chocolate Candies!: Gently fold in those colorful REESE’S PIECES until evenly distributed throughout your brownie batter; their vibrant hues will cheer you up instantly!

Bake Your Brownies!: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake in your preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted shows moist crumbs.

Let these chewy REESE’S PIECES Peanut Butter Brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares—the anticipation will be worth it! Enjoy every bite as those flavors dance on your palate!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by preheating your oven and lining the baking pan. Mix wet ingredients first, then combine with dry ingredients for a smooth batter.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to use dark chocolate or swap REESE’S PIECES for other candies like M&Ms for a fun twist.

Storing & Reheating

Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy that gooey texture again.

Baking these brownies reminds me of my college days when my friends and I would have impromptu dessert parties. The joy on their faces when they took that first bite was priceless.

FAQ

Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy?

Absolutely! Crunchy peanut butter adds delightful texture and flavor to the brownies.

How do I know when the brownies are done?

Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out slightly moist but not wet.

Can I freeze these brownies for later?

Yes, wrap individual brownies tightly and store them in the freezer for up to three months.
