Ingredients
  

Brownie Batter
  • ⅓ cup salted butter Unsalted butter can be used if preferred.
  • ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter Choose your favorite brand.
  • 5 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, cut into chunks Ensure chocolate is properly melted.
  • 1 ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract Use pure vanilla for the best flavor.
  • 3 large eggs Room temperature eggs work best.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
Topping
  • 12 pieces Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups For a fun twist, try using different chocolate candies.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the unsweetened baking chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and salted butter. Stir constantly until everything melts together.
  3. Remove from heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Mixing Batter
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat on high speed for 2 to 3 minutes until fluffy.
  2. Pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, and beat on low until blended.
  3. Gradually add in the all-purpose flour. Mix until just combined.
Baking
  1. Spoon about one tablespoon of brownie batter into each muffin tin cup.
  2. Place one Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup on top, pressing it lightly into the batter.
  3. Add roughly a teaspoon of brownie batter over each cup and gently spread it to cover completely.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes, then let cool in the muffin tin before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for a week. For added flavor, mix in chopped nuts or different flavored peanut butter.
