Reese’s Stuffed Brownies Recipe
Introduction
These Reese’s Stuffed Brownies combine rich, fudgy chocolate with a delicious peanut butter surprise inside. Perfect for chocolate and peanut butter lovers looking for a simple yet indulgent treat.
Ingredients
- Brownie batter (enough for one 9×9 inch pan)
- Reese’s peanut butter cups (about 8-10, depending on pan size)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven according to the brownie batter package or recipe instructions. Pour the brownie batter evenly into a greased 9×9 inch baking pan.
- Step 2: Arrange the Reese’s peanut butter cups evenly over the batter. Gently press them slightly into the batter but do not submerge completely.
- Step 3: Bake according to the brownie batter’s recommended time, usually 20-25 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Step 4: Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to allow the peanut butter cups to set inside.
Tips & Variations
- For extra gooey brownies, slightly underbake by a couple of minutes and let them cool in the pan.
- Substitute miniature peanut butter cups for a more uniform distribution throughout the brownies.
- Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
- Use homemade brownie batter if you prefer, adjusting baking times as needed.
Storage
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. When refrigerating, bring to room temperature or warm slightly before serving to enjoy the melty peanut butter cups.

FAQs
Can I use other types of peanut butter cups?
Yes! You can use mini, dark chocolate, or white chocolate peanut butter cups based on your preference for flavor and texture.
What if I don’t have a 9×9 inch pan?
You can use a similarly sized baking dish. Adjust the amount of batter and peanut butter cups accordingly and watch the baking time closely to avoid over- or under-baking.

Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- 1 batch of your favorite brownie batter (about 1 box brownie mix or homemade equivalent)
Filling
- 10 Reese’s peanut butter cups (standard size), unwrapped
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownie Batter: Follow the instructions on your chosen brownie mix box or use your homemade recipe to prepare the batter. This usually involves mixing key ingredients such as eggs, oil, and water with the dry brownie mix until smooth.
- Pour the Batter into the Pan: Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking pan and pour half of the prepared brownie batter evenly across the bottom, spreading it smoothly with a spatula.
- Add Reese’s Cups: Place the unwrapped Reese’s peanut butter cups evenly over the brownie batter layer, slightly pressing them down for secure placement.
- Top with Remaining Batter: Spoon the remaining brownie batter gently over the Reese’s cups, ensuring they are fully covered to prevent burning during baking.
- Bake the Brownies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the brownies for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out with moist crumbs but no raw batter.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares to serve. This helps the layers set and prevents the filling from oozing out.
Notes
- Use a toothpick to test for doneness, avoiding the center where the peanut butter cups are.
- For extra gooeyness, slightly underbake by a couple of minutes if preferred.
- These brownies are best enjoyed within 2-3 days stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Can be refrigerated to extend freshness but let come to room temperature before serving for best texture.
