Reese's Cup Brownies

What You’ll Need

For the Brownie Batter:

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour, sifted

• ½ teaspoon baking powder

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ⅓ cup butter, melted

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 4 tablespoons cocoa powder

• 1 cup sugar

• 2 eggs, well beaten

For the Filling:

• 3 oz cream cheese, softened

• ½ cup peanut butter

• 3 tablespoons milk

• ⅓ cup powdered sugar

How to Make Them

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.

2. Prepare the brownie batter:

   • In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

   • In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter with the cocoa until smooth.

   • In another bowl, beat the eggs and gradually add in the sugar, mixing well. Stir in the cocoa mixture.

   • Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

3. Prepare the filling:

   • Beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth.

   • Add the milk and powdered sugar, mixing until creamy and spreadable.

4. Assemble:

   • Spread two-thirds of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.

   • Spread the peanut butter filling over the batter (a rubber spatula works best).

   • Top with the remaining brownie batter, gently spreading to cover.

5. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

6. Cool completely, slice, and enjoy.
