Peanut Butter Cup Brownies
Rich and fudgy brownies with swirls of creamy peanut butter and chunks of peanut butter cups. These indulgent treats are a peanut butter and chocolate lover's dream, perfect for parties or a decadent dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup peanut butter cups chopped
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter melted, for swirling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in granulated sugar and cocoa powder until smooth.
- Stir in vanilla extract, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
- Gently fold in chopped peanut butter cups, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Drizzle melted peanut butter over the top and use a knife to swirl it into the batter for a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
For extra indulgence, drizzle melted chocolate over the brownies before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
