Peanut Butter Cup Brownies are ultra-fudgy brownies filled to the brim with chocolate chips, roasted peanuts, Reese’s Peanut Butter chips and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
Salty, sweet, rich and fudgy. These are all words to describe these peanut butter cup brownies!
I wish I had more to say in this post but like most people in the world, I have been stuck in my house for the past two months so really, nothing exciting is happening!
In fact, I’m getting so bored I have restarted my old YouTube channel where I posted short films that now include sotrytimes and, scary stories and my latest video…. The mystery of the Princes in the Tower.
So, if you’re bored, check out that channel here.
These brownies are a peanut butter and chocolate lovers dream! We have my fudgy chocolate brownies, roasted peanuts, chocolate chips, Reese’s peanut butter chips (these are optional as I know they can be hard to find) and the all important Reese’s peanut butter cups.
The peanut butter cups run throughout the middle of these brownies for a salty, creamy middle.
How to make the brownies
Place the brown sugar, sugar, eggs and vanilla in a bowl and mix. 
The eggs should be beaten until frothy. 
Melt the butter and chocolate together. 
Add the chocolate mix to the eggs and stir together. 
Fold through the flour and cocoa. 
Stir through the peanuts, Reese’s chips and chocolate chips. 
Spread half of the brownie mixture into the base of a prepared pan. 
Cover with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and top with the remaining batter and bake!
That’s it! These can be whipped up in no time and eaten straight from the pan with a spoon (I won’t tell) or chilled from the fridge for that ‘fudge’ factor.
