Ingredients:

• For the Brownie:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 24 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (mini)
• For the Peanut Butter Frosting:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup milk

Directions:

1. Prepare the Brownie Batter:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
   In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
   Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
2. Assemble the Layers:
   Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Place the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups in an even layer over the batter. Cover with the remaining brownie batter, smoothing the top.
3. Bake:
   Bake the brownies for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
4. Make the Frosting:
   In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter and peanut butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with the milk, beating until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
5. Frost and Serve:
   Spread the peanut butter frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Cut into squares to serve.
