Description

Deliciously decadent Peanut Butter Stuffed Brownies featuring rich melted chocolate, creamy peanut butter cups nestled inside, and a luscious chocolate chip topping. These brownies combine the fudgy texture of classic brownies with the irresistible surprise of peanut butter candy inside, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 2 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Fillings and Toppings

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • 1 cup chopped peanut butter cups
  • 1 bag peanut butter cups, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch baking dish by spraying it with non-stick spray or lining with foil or parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Chocolate and Oil: In a large bowl, mix the melted unsweetened chocolate and canola oil until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Eggs and Sugar: Stir the eggs and sugar into the chocolate and oil mixture until the batter is uniform and glossy.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  5. Layer Batter and Peanut Butter Cups: Spread half of the brownie batter evenly in the prepared baking dish. Place the unwrapped peanut butter cups evenly over this brownie layer, ensuring full coverage.
  6. Top with Remaining Batter: Pour the remaining brownie batter over the peanut butter cups and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Add Chocolate Chips and Melt: Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot brownies. Cover with foil and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate chips to melt smoothly.
  9. Spread Melted Chocolate and Add Chopped Peanut Butter Cups: Using a spatula, spread the melted chocolate chips over the surface of the brownies. Sprinkle the chopped peanut butter cups on top for added texture and flavor.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely at room temperature before slicing into 12 servings. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use high quality unsweetened chocolate for the best rich flavor.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the brownies fudgy.
  • Cooling completely is important for clean slices with the peanut butter cups inside.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For an extra indulgence, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
