Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1 box brownie mix (approximately 18.3 oz)
  • Ingredients required by brownie mix (usually eggs, oil, and water)

Peanut Butter Swirl

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Topping

  • 1 cup Reese’s Pieces candy

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Batter: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box to prepare the batter, typically combining the mix with eggs, oil, and water as directed until smooth and well combined.
  2. Swirl in the Peanut Butter: Drop spoonfuls of creamy peanut butter over the prepared brownie batter, then use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the peanut butter throughout the batter to create a marbled effect.
  3. Add Reese’s Pieces Topping: Evenly sprinkle the Reese’s Pieces candy over the top of the batter, pressing slightly to help the candies adhere.
  4. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into a greased or lined baking pan and bake according to the brownie mix package instructions, usually at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares to ensure clean slices and the candy topping remains intact.

Notes

  • For best results, use creamy peanut butter to achieve a smooth swirl in the batter.
  • Ensure even distribution of Reese’s Pieces for balanced flavor and texture in each bite.
  • You can slightly press the candy into the batter to prevent them from melting or sinking during baking.
  • Adjust baking time depending on your oven and pan size; start checking doneness at 30 minutes.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
