Peanut Butter Cup Brookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients required on the box, such as eggs, oil, etc.)
- 1 roll refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
- 12 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Directions
- Preparation Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 18-20 minutes | Total Time: 28-30 minutes | Calories: 350 kcal per Brookie | Servings: 12
- Oven Preparation:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure your muffin tin is lined with paper cupcake liners to prevent sticking and to allow for easy removal of the Brookies.
- Brownie Batter:
- Prepare the brownie mix according to the instructions provided on the package. This typically involves mixing the dry mix with water, oil, and eggs until smooth.
- Cookie Dough Base:
- Cut the refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough into 12 even slices. Press one slice into the bottom of each cupcake liner, forming the first layer of your Brookie.
- Adding the Peanut Butter Cup:
- Place one Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup upside down on top of the cookie dough layer in each muffin cup. This will add a hidden surprise of peanut butter and chocolate in the middle of each Brookie.
- Layering with Brownie Batter:
- Carefully spoon the prepared brownie batter over the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, filling the liners nearly to the top but leaving a little room for the Brookies to rise during baking.
- Baking:
- Bake the Brookies in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
