Whenever I need a quick and memorable dessert for a team or event, Reese’s Peanut Butter Brownies are my go to. Using the Reese’s Peanut Butter cups to line the pan creates the nice chunks of peanut butter in every bite.
My COST Cooking has bled over to my pantry and I always have brownie mix on hand. I love to use it to make these peanut butter brownies. Add the ingredients needed for the brownies and the Reese’s Peanut Butter cups and you are good to go.
I prefer to make this in my Pampered Chef pan for easy cleanup. The recipe below calls for the 8×8 or 9×9 pan, but if you like all corner or edges try one of the other fun pans.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Brownie Instructions
It is amazing how simple this recipe is. Line the pan with the Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Make the brownie mix per the instructions on the box. Pour the brownie mix over the Reese’s cups and bake.
The brownies are done when the edges begin to crisp and pull away from the sides. Also insert a toothpick or a cake tester into the middle. If it comes out clean (for the most part) they are done. You may have some chocolate on the toothpick or cake tester from the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Just be sure it is not uncooked brownie mix.
It is important that you let these brownies cool for at least 30 minutes. When you cut into them they are moist and will fall apart. For a more healthy snack that pleases everyone see Homemade Granola Bars.

[…] Using the Pampered Chef Large Scoop or equivalent put a scoop of the mix in each well. The Pampered Chef Mini Spatula is the perfect size to press these down and scrape everything into the wells. One time I had extra mix and that was because I added to much in the add ins. Once all wells are in pressed down, bake for 14-16 minutes. Keep an eye on them as I found some ingredients like the marshmallows burned faster then others. Pull it out and set on cooling rack fro five minutes. Then snap on the pan top. Align the four “posts” on the lid with the holes in the middles section of the pan and press until they “click”. then the rest of the lid will fit nicely in the outside lip. Place the pan in the freezer for 15 minutes. When done, pop these out and enjoy! For an easy less healthy snack, but still a crowd pleaser, check out the Reese’s Peanut Butter Brownies […]
