Equipment

Ingredients

  • 18.3 ounce brownie mix plus the eggs and oil to make the brownies
  • 16 ounces refrigerated cookie dough I like the ones that break into squares
  • 24 full size Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and very generously grease two regular size muffin tins.
  • Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions; set aside.*
  • Break apart the cookie dough squares and press them into the base of each muffing well.
  • Top each with a PB cup.
  • Pour the brownie batter over each, just enough to cover them, about 75% of the way full.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the brownie batter is cracked and not jiggly.
  • Allow them to cool before gently popping from the pan. I recommend popping them out using a fork.
  • If you've tried this recipe, come back and let us know how it was in the comments or star ratings.

Notes

To make half peanut butter brookies and half brookie bars:
  1. Grease an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Press the cookie dough into the bottom, making it as even as possible. Pour the brownie batter over the dough.
  3. Bake for 35-38 minutes or until the brownie batter is set and slightly cracked.
  4. Remove and allow to cool before cutting. Cutting this type of brownie is easier with a plastic knife because it slides through instead of sticking.
