- 1 box Betty Crocker Brownie mix (19.5 ounce)

- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- For the Topping:

Directions:
- Prepare the Brownies:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with nonstick foil, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the dry brownie mix, egg, softened cream cheese, and butter. Mix until well combined.
- Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Press the frozen Reese’s peanut butter cups into the batter, ensuring they are pushed down into the batter but not raised above the surface.
- Bake for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely before frosting.
- Make the Peanut Butter Frosting:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, peanut butter, milk, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
- Topping:
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the frosted brownies.
- Chill:
- Place the brownies in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the frosting and chocolate drizzle to set.
Once chilled, cut into squares and enjoy these rich, peanut butter-filled brownies! They’re perfect for any peanut butter and chocolate lover, and they make a fun and indulgent dessert for sharing.
