Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

Ingredients:

1 batch of your favorite brownies made in an 8 x 8 inch or 9 x 9 inch pan
14 snack size Reese’s peanut butter cups
Chocolate syrup for garnish if desired


Directions:

Bake brownies according to package directions in an 8 x 8 inch or 9 x 9 inch pan. Line the pan with foil in both directions, then spray the foil with cooking spray. This will make it easier to lift the brownies out of the pan when they are done cooking.

About 3-5 minutes before the brownies are done baking, pull them out of the oven and place around 9 snack sized peanut butter cups, face-down, over the tops of the brownies. Gently press the peanut butter cups into the brownies.

Return the pan to the oven for the remaining 3-5 minutes.
When you take the brownies out of the pan, the chocolate from the peanut butter cups will have melted. Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate over the brownies, almost like frosting. The peanut butter portion of the peanut butter cups won’t melt, so don’t expect to be able to spread that part.

Allow the brownies to cool COMPLETELY. I let the brownies cool at room-temperature for about 30 minutes, then placed them in the refrigerator about about an hour. Chop the remaining 5 Reese’s peanut butter cups. Sprinkle over the top of the brownies. Cut into squares and serve. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top of the brownies if you wish.
