Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter, melted

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Toppings

  • 1 cup Reese’s Pieces candies

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies once baked.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder to ensure even distribution and no lumps.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the brownies tender and fudgy.
  5. Add Peanut Butter: Gently fold the melted peanut butter into the batter until fully incorporated, enhancing the flavor and richness.
  6. Pour Batter into Pan: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula to ensure consistent baking.
  7. Add Reese’s Pieces: Sprinkle the Reese’s Pieces candies evenly over the top of the batter for a colorful and crunchy finish.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper to lift them out, then cut into 24 squares and serve.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for easier mixing and a more uniform batter.
  • For fudgier brownies, avoid over-baking as the brownies will continue to cook in the pan after removal from the oven.
  • A light sprinkle of sea salt on top after baking can enhance the flavor by balancing the sweetness.
