This dessert is everything a brownie should be: moist, dense, rich, chocolatey . . . then multiply your dessert enjoyment by 10 when you add chunks of
Reese's peanut butter cups.
This recipe card was one of the first ones I ever made, and what was I thinking with that font?

Old card--do not use this one. Scroll down to bottom for new card. |
I found the recipe for Peanut Butter cup brownies in
Wondertime magazine about five or six years ago (alas,
Wondertime is no more). They looked so good . . . but the first time I made them, they were far too sweet. So, I reduced the sugar by half a cup, and eventually by 3/4 cup. Then I added two more peanut butter cups to the recipe. And a bit more salt.
Now they are perfect.

I actually only had 8 cups this time, but it's better with ten. Or even twelve. Is there any kitchen chore more delightful than shucking PB cups? |
|
Cut each cup into fourths. (A few times I have used a package of bite-size Reese's instead and the brownies have been delightful) |
|
Use real butter to grease the pan---no substitutions. |

This is how it looks before you put it in the oven . . . |

Mmmmmmm . . . brownies. With Reese's . . . |
