Reese's Stuffed Brownies

Have you tried the Giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups? They’ve been around for a while and I always have to fight the urge to buy them as I’m checking out my groceries. They are a chocolate lovers dream! Though I love eating them on their own, I wanted to try them in a recipe. I upped the richness factory by 1000, I think! These Reese’s Stuffed Brownies are pure chocolate/peanut butter heaven.

I made the brownie batter from scratch, but if you wanted to save on time, a boxed mix would work too. They look like brownie cupcakes, but inside is a hidden delight: a Giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. Again, if you can’t find the giant cups where you live, use the regular sized ones.

Giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are stuffed inside a rich chocolate brownie. Each bite is pure chocolate heaven!

Ingredients:
Cooking spray

• 1/3 cup butter
• 1/3 cup peanut butter
• 5 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate, cut into chunks
• 1 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup flour
• 12 Giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the chocolate, peanut butter and butter over low heat, stirring constantly. Once melted, remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes.
3. In a large mixing bowl, add sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. Beat on high speed for 5 minutes. Pour in chocolate and beat on low speed until combined. Beat in flour on low speed until combined.
4. Add a tablespoon of brownie batter to each muffin tin. Place a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup on top of each. Slightly press down to embed the peanut butter cup in the batter. Add about a teaspoon of brownie batter on top of each and spread to cover. Your peanut butter cup will now be fully encased inside the brownie.
