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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
