Ingredients

Servings
  • 8 ounces chocolate chips semi-sweet
  • 8 tablespoons butter cut into chunks (1/2 cup, unsalted
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ tablespoons instant espresso powder
  • 3 egg large
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
  • cup peanut butter creamy
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 8 Reese’s peanut butter cups coarsely chopped, regular size

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray an 8″ square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Microwave chocolate chips and butter in microwave for about 45 seconds. If not mostly melted, microwave for 20 more seconds. Stir until smooth. Whisk in the cocoa powder and espresso powder. Set aside.
  3. Whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, peanut butter and salt until combined.
  4. Whisk the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
  5. Stir in the flour until just combined.
  6. Fold chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups into batter.
  7. Pour mixture into prepared pan, spread evenly and level the surface with a rubber spatula.
  8. Bake approximately 35-40 minutes. Brownies will be slightly puffed and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.
  9. Cool to room temperature for about 2 hours. 
  10. Cut into 1″ squares. Store in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
