Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 12 pieces Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with non-stick baking spray.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted butter-chocolate mixture until fully combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the brownie batter into each prepared muffin cup, ensuring the bottom of each is evenly covered.
Place one Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in the center of each cup, pressing it gently into the batter.
Evenly distribute the remaining batter on top of each Reese’s Cup, ensuring they are fully covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted near the edge (not the center) comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
