Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Explosion Brownies - Self Explanatory and addicting as hell! If you're a peanut butter and chocolate lover, you've met your match in these decadent and scrumptious brownies!
Super easy to make these brownies into gourmet brownies exploding with peanut butter cups on top of a creamy peanut butter frosting and your favorite boxed brownie mix for a 9x9 pan of yummy treats everyone will love!
These have just the right amount of creamy, dreamy peanut butter buttercream, *swoon*, and delicious Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
*Another swoon* and soft and chewy milk chocolate brownies that will melt in your mouth.
*sigh*. . .A new love, a new dessert addiction. What do you think? Are you with me? I hope!!
The song "I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it!" is in dedication to these decadent Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Explosion Brownies!
*Ummm...you'll have to excuse me, but I'm in *PB Explosion* moment right now.*
If distracted, I might turn into Marsha or Jan from the Brady Bunch, like on that Snickers Bar commercial. Only it won't be because I'm 'hangry'. It will be because, these brownies are extremely, freaking sinful and "I want it NOW" like Veruca Salt, from Willy Wonka.
Hmmm...I'm all about crazy characters right now, it appears. 🙂
I think we all can be a little crazy at times, especially when there's Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Explosion Brownies involved. It can be torture to look at them and not get to eat them.
So, there's one way to solve this. Go a little crazy, sing a little ditty, and devour! Yep...just like that!
PB Lover of sorts? You'll want to go crazy on these too! Yowza!!
