    OMG Peanut Butter Cup Brownies
    OMG Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

    With these OMG Peanut Butter Cup Brownies you can do no wrong, right?  Pack in creamy milk chocolate peanut butter cups into these home-made brownies and you get the most tempting, delectable Peanut Butter Cup Brownies ever! Thank you!

    OMG Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

    I was told...by taste-testers...these exact words, "These brownies are like the American Dream!  It's what America was built on!" 

    In other words, you get pure Nirvana, pure joy, pure satisfaction, pure comfort, pure obsessive drooling with peanut butter and chocolate (everyone noticed, you can't hide it) and supposedly, now it's the 'New' American Dream.  *Perfect*

    Whoa!! Whaaa? Awesome!!?  Yessss! OK! Cool! 

    OMG Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

    So when we think about iconic American foods, it doesn’t get more classic than apple pie, the old-school American Dream, right?  Move over please!  I mean how long has peanut butter and chocolate been around anyways?  *smh*

    (My mind thinks like this...Kind of like "40 is the new 20", only my analogy goes something like this: "OMG Peanut Butter Cup Brownies are the new Apple Pie"...or something along those lines!)  Would you agree?

    People freaking love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate and this peanut butter cup brownie recipe packs a powerful chocolate and peanut butter fix that will satisfy beyond happy!

    OMG Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

    OMG Peanut Butter Cup Brownies are all about the Choceur peanut butter cups on the inside and on top,  peanut butter chocolate drizzles on top and being all enrobed with delicious chocolatey, thick, fudgy brownies made with 4 kinds of Ghirardelli Chocolate.

    Oh and you guys, I used a new vanilla extract in these brownies that enhanced the rich flavors even more by bringing those brownies to a higher level. If you're interested in what I used, check out this organic Singing Dog Vanilla Extract!

    So, there you have it...the newest American Dream!  I'd like to think so anyways!  Enjoy! 

    This peanut butter cup brownie recipe is perfect sweet and salty indulgence for any ole' time.

    Ingredients
      

    • This recipe is for a 9x13 pan. Divide recipe in half for 8x8 or 9x9 pan of brownies.

    Brownies

    • 3 sticks butter unsalted
    • 4 ½ ounces unsweetened baking chocolate I used Ghirardelli, roughly chopped
    • 1 ½ cups 60% Cacao bittersweet chocolate chips I used Ghirardelli
    • 6 large eggs room temp
    • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
    • 1 ½ cups brown sugar, packed
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract I used Singing Dog Vanilla
    • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour or a really good gluten free flour
    • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 - 12 oz miniature peanut butter cups I used ALDI's Choceur Peanut Butter Cups
    • ¼ cup milk chocolate chips I used Ghirardelli

    Peanut Butter Chocolate Drizzle

    • ½ cup peanut butter
    • ½ cup white baking chocolate chips I used Ghirardelli

    Toppings

    • 1 - 12 oz miniature peanut butter cups, rough chopped I used ALDI's Choceur Peanut Butter Cups, rough chopped

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    • Line a 9x13 baking pan with heavy-duty foil and very lightly grease the foil with vegetable shortening, like crisco or line with parchment paper.
    • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over your lowest setting, then add the unsweetened chocolate with the bittersweet chocolate chips stirring constantly with a small whisk until melted and smooth.
    • Turn off heat and let set on burner.
    • In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs into the bowl and lightly whisk.
    • In another bowl, add in the sugars and salt and whisk together, then add the eggs in and mix together until just incorporated.
    • Whisk in the melted chocolate into the sugar/egg mixture, until just combined.
    • Briefly whisk in the vanilla.
    • In another bowl, whisk the flour and baking powder together and sift into the chocolate mixture.
    • Stir with a silicone spatula and pour and spread out ⅔ of batter evenly into your prepared baking pan.
    • Place (1 bag) of peanut butter cups evenly throughout the brownies by pushing down into brownies evenly. Spread out the rest of the brownie batter on top. (It's ok if some of the peanut butter cups show).
    • Sprinkle milk chocolate chips on top of the brownie batter.
    • Bake 35 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean and transfer pan to cooling rack and let cool for 15 minutes.
    • Scatter roughly chopped peanut butter cups on top and place brownies in fridge to let brownies set.  
    • While brownies are cooling, prepare the peanut butter chocolate drizzle.
    • Melt peanut butter and white chocolate together in microwave for a minute and whisk briskly to melt evenly. Place back in microwave 15 second increments, stirring each time, if further melting is needed.
    • Place peanut butter chocolate in ziplock bag and snip corn and drizzle it back and forth across brownies.
    • Once brownies are set, cut and enjoy! Best served at room temperature.

    Notes

    Can be refrigerated up to 3 weeks. Makes 12 very large or 24 small brownies.

      OMJ these are soooo good! My only question is what GF flour do you recommend? I tried it with Bob's Red Mill All-Purpose Baking flour and they turned out so well and then I made them a second time and they didn't get done even after putting them in longer (almost an hour). I love making these but I don't want to have to throw out a whole batch because they didn't get done in the middle!

      Thank you!!

      Hi Hannah,
      1 stick butter = 8 tablespoons = 1/2 cup = 4 ounces/110g, so 1 - 1/2 cups, 330 grams or 12 ounces. Hope you enjoy!!! 🙂 Thanks so much!

      Sorry Heather! I updated the instructions. You just add the eggs in with the sugar mixture...hope that helps!

    7. Heather says

      June 06, 2018 at 1:54 pm

      Step 5 just said to add the eggs into a large bowl and whisk but it’s never combined with anything else???? Help!!!! Making these now.

      I made it to the end of the recipe & realized there was never a step to include the 6 eggs.
      I added them at the end, crossing my fingers?

      Hi,
      These look delicious! I wanted to make them and was wondering about the baking temp. Not sure if I missed it somewhere. Thank you,

      February 12, 2017 at 11:25 am

      I assume that the oven temperature should be 350 degrees?

      February 08, 2017 at 11:22 pm

      These look sooooo chocolatey and fudgelike! I want to eat the whole pan!!!! And I agree....I think these have taken over as being more American than Apple pie! I mean how often do we eat apple pie compared to peanut butter chocolate desserts?? Yup! Chocolate PB wins!

      I love using Ghirardelli in my baking! OHHH Maria! You are missing out, but I understand with the allergy issues. Not fun! 🙁 Could always add more chocolate? hehe

    31. Maria @ kitchenathoskins says

      February 08, 2017 at 9:32 am

      LOL!! Loved reading the post.A fab idea indeed and I'm a huge fan Ghirardelli as well and use it in all my baking. Too bad I can't try these brownies due to allergy issues. Sounds yum!
