Description

Chocolate lovers rejoice with Reeses Brownie Bliss, a sinful dessert merging rich cocoa and peanut butter perfection. Indulgent layers of fudgy brownies and creamy Reeses cups promise a mouthwatering experience you won’t soon forget.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Chocolate Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 12 teaspoon baking powder
  • 14 teaspoon salt

Primary Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks/226 grams) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups (400 grams) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping:

  • 12 mini Reeses peanut butter cups (or 6 regular-sized cups, halved)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 350F (175C) and preparing a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper or greasing to prevent sticking.
  2. Gently melt butter in a saucepan over low heat, then remove and let cool momentarily to avoid scrambling eggs.
  3. Whisk together melted butter and sugar until well incorporated, then blend in eggs and vanilla extract to create a smooth, glossy mixture.
  4. Sift dry ingredients – flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt – ensuring no lumps remain for a uniform texture.
  5. Carefully fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring minimally to maintain a tender brownie consistency.
  6. Create a layered brownie base by spreading half the batter in the prepared pan, strategically placing Reeses cups across the surface, then covering with remaining batter.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick near the center – slight moisture on the pick indicates perfect brownies.
  8. Allow brownies to rest and settle in the pan for approximately 30 minutes, enabling them to set and cool before slicing into decadent squares.

Notes

  • Select high-quality cocoa powder and butter for richer, more intense chocolate flavor that elevates the entire brownie experience.
  • Slightly underbake brownies by removing them from the oven when a few moist crumbs remain to ensure ultra-fudgy, decadent texture.
  • Chop Reese’s cups into smaller pieces for more even distribution and guaranteed chocolate-peanut butter goodness in every single bite.
  • Chill brownies completely before cutting to achieve cleaner, more precise square shapes that look professionally prepared.
