Ingredients
1 box fudge brownie mix (like Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines)
Ingredients listed on the brownie mix box (usually eggs, oil, and water)
½ cup creamy peanut butter (Skippy or Jif work great)
1 tub chocolate frosting
½ cup Reese’s Pieces (or more if you like extra crunch!)
8–10 mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, halved or whole
Optional Toppings:
2 tablespoons melted peanut butter or chocolate (for drizzling)
Pinch of flaky sea salt (for a gourmet touch)
Instructions
Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven according to your brownie mix instructions. Grease a round pizza pan or a 9×13 baking dish if you prefer square slices.
Make the Brownie Base
Prepare the brownie batter as directed on the box. Pour into your pan and bake according to package directions. Check for doneness with a toothpick—it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool Completely
Let the brownie cool completely in the pan before adding toppings. This step is key so nothing melts or slides!
Layer the Peanut Butter
Once cooled, spread the creamy peanut butter evenly over the surface of the brownie.
Add the Chocolate Frosting
Follow with a layer of chocolate frosting, smoothing it all the way to the edges.
Top with Candy
Sprinkle Reese’s Pieces over the top, then add halved or whole mini Reese’s Cups. Press them gently into the frosting.
Drizzle & Chill
If using, drizzle melted peanut butter or chocolate over the top. Chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes to set.
Slice & Serve
Cut into wedges or squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
