Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup dutch processed cocoa
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups chopped candy (I used about a dozen Reese’s Cups and a bag of Peanut M&Ms)
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
Remove from heat and add to a large bowl. Mix in the sugar and vanilla extract.
Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each egg.
Add the cocoa and blend.
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and stir. Rougly chop the candy and add to the mix.
Stir until combined and pour into the pan.
Add teaspoons of peanut butter randomly over the batter.
Using a knife, swirl the peanut butter into the brownie batter.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting.
They look so gooey and delicious don’t they?
The Reese’s add peanut butter throughout the brownie, making each piece a bite of peanut butter heaven. I’m pretty sure the peanut butter M&M’s basically disintegrated into just plain peanut butter, and thankfully didn’t turn the brownies any weird colors.
Enjoy!
I’m getting sugar overload jut from looking at the pictures, but man, would I kill for a brownie of yours! 😉
oh my god this looks ridiculously delicious and so bad for you at the same time. i’ll take it! 🙂 YUM!
Oh man, I can feel my blood sugar rising just looking at these! They look SO good!
How creative to use the leftover candy!! I bet these were SO yummy!! I want one! ha
Oh my heavens, I want to reach in a take a giant bite! Sounds wonderful!
Those look devilishly decadent! Gotta love any recipe that helps use all that extra candy! 🙂
As if brownies weren’t heavenly enough on their own! These look so yummy!
I love this idea. It is somehow much more dignified to eat all the leftover candy when it is baked into brownies, rather than scarfing a whole bag with the blinds closed.
Okay -it’s official! I now have DROOL all over my computer! Very nicely done!
Even without the candy thrown in, those sound delicious. And I love brownies with swirls! They’re so much more fun to eat than plain old boring brownies with no personality…
