What\u2019s better than just a regular brownie? A dense, fudgy brownie stuffed with peanut butter cups.<\/p>\n

These Fudgy Peanut Butter Cup Brownies start with an easy homemade brownie recipe and are so simple to throw together. These brownies are such a simple and fun dessert and you probably have almost everything you need on hand to make a batch too.<\/p>\n

Plus, how gorgeous are these brownies with the peanut butter cup in the center when you slice into them? I promise you they taste even better than they look too.<\/p>\n

To make these brownies you\u2019ll start out with some melted butter and sugar and whisk them together until they’re well combined. Then, you\u2019ll whisk in a couple of eggs and vanilla extract. Just make sure that your butter has cooled some before you add the eggs. Hot butter + eggs = scrambled eggs.<\/p>\n

For the dry ingredients, you\u2019ll sift some flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a little bit of salt into the wet ingredients. One little tip when it comes to making good brownies, make sure to sift your dry ingredients to avoid any lumps of cocoa powder in your brownie batter.<\/p>\n

Once the wet and dry ingredients are well combined, you\u2019ll pour half of your batter into the pan and then line some peanut butter cups on top. You\u2019ll need a total 12 peanut butter cups for this recipe. I like to place 9 whole peanut butter cups on top and then cut the other 3 in half and fill in the empty spaces.<\/p>\n

There is definitely no shortage of peanut butter and chocolate anywhere in this recipe. Would you expect anything less of me?<\/p>\n

The brownies will need to bake for about 30-35 minutes, you\u2019ll know they\u2019re done when the top looks set. Once they\u2019re done baking, you\u2019ll need to let the brownies cool almost completely before slicing into them.<\/p>\n
