Ingredients
Brownies:
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar , packed
- 1 cup salted butter , melted
- 4 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- dash salt
Peanut Butter Frosting:
- 1/4 cup butter , room temperature
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-3 Tablespoons milk , as needed
Chocolate Glaze:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 5 Tablespoons butter
- 1 small bag mini Reese's chocolates , unwrapped and chopped
Instructions
Brownies:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl add granulated and brown sugars and melted butter. Beat until well combined. Add eggs and egg yolk, beating after each addition. Add milk and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix just until combined. The batter will be thick.
- Pour batter into a greased 9x13'' baking pan and spread into an even layer. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
Peanut Butter Frosting:
- Beat together butter, and peanut butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla and beat again until smooth. Add a little splash of milk, beating well until light and fluffy. Add more milk or powdered sugar if needed to make the frosting thicker or thinner.
- Smooth frosting over the top of cooled brownies. Refrigerate while you make the chocolate topping.
Chocolate Glaze:
- Place chocolate chips and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until just melted and smooth. Allow to cool for 3-4 minutes.
- Spread evenly over the frosted brownies. Add chopped Reese's peanut butter cups on top. Return to fridge to allow the chocolate to set.
Notes
- Make ahead Instructions: These brownies taste great made 1-2 days in advance, stored covered in the refrigerator. The peanut butter frosting can be made 1-2 weeks in advance. Bring to room temperature before spreading on brownies.
- Freezing Instructions: Baked and cooled brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, or on the counter, before adding frosting and glaze.
