Ingredients
Brownie Base
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted Gives that rich brownie taste
- 1 cup Granulated sugar For that classic crackly top
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar For chewiness and deeper flavor
- 2 large Eggs At room temperature if possible
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder Ensure it smells fresh and chocolatey
- 1 cup All purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt To balance sweetness
- 1 cup Reese’s Pieces Plus a few extra for topping
- Optional: chocolate chips If you want them extra rich
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9 by 9 inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Melt the butter and let it cool for a minute. Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until glossy.
- Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Stir until the batter looks smooth and thicker.
- Sprinkle in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Stir just until you don’t see flour streaks.
- Fold in a small handful of Reese’s Pieces, then spread the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the rest of the Reese’s Pieces on top and gently press them in.
Baking
- Bake for 22 to 30 minutes, checking at 22 minutes. Look for set edges and a center that doesn’t jiggle.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before slicing for neat squares.
Notes
For clean slices, chill the brownies first. Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Can use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
