• servings: 9 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

½ cup melted unsalted butter

1 cup dark chocolate chips

1 cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp cocoa powder

¼ cup gluten free flour

½ tsp sea salt

9 peanut butter cups

⅔ cup all natural creamy peanut butter

¼ cup powdered sugar

Directions

First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper.

In a bowl, add melted butter and chocolate chips. Stir until completely melted. If needed, microwave for 10 to 15 seconds. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, add the white sugar and the eggs. Whisk vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes, until light and frothy. Add in the vanilla extract. Stir.

Pour melted chocolate mixture into the mixing bowl. Stir to combine.

Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Fold gently until combined.

Pour half of this batter into the parchment lined brownie pan.

Then, place the peanut butter cups on top.

In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter and powdered sugar. Stir together. Spread this mixture on top of the peanut butter cups. Smooth into an even layer.

Pour the remaining brownie batter on top of the peanut butter. Smooth into an even layer.

Bake for 33 to 36 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.

Finally, remove from the oven. Allow these Reese’s brownies to fully cool before slicing into.
