What's for Dessert? Peanut Butter Cup Brownies!

A friend relayed some good news to me today...it's National Brownie Day!  Considering I had 4 boxes of my favorite brownies in the pantry because they were on sale...it called for celebration.  Now, I can't even call this a recipe, because it is not by any means homemade, but I thought I would share this with you because these are the best brownies EV-AH!  Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Brownies rock my world.  And I got a crazy thought...why not add in another one of my favorite things EV-AH...Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!?!  A pretty perfect dessert for me on any given night is a Reese's, but when you add them to my favorite brownie...perfection personified! This is so quick and easy, even the worst bakers (me included) can't screw it up!  Try it, you'll love it!

Peanut Butter Cup Brownies
The box says serves 16...who are they kidding???  Serves about 6!

  • 1 box Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix
  • 1/2 bag Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Minis (up to you what to do with the other half of the bag...hmmm...but below is another recipe I've been wanting to try that I found on Pinterest***)

Prepare brownie mix to package directions.  Stir in peanut butter cups into the batter.  Fill a greased, 9x9 glass baking dish with batter.  Bake at 325 for about 35 minutes.  Don't over bake.  You want them to be sort of gooey! For extra indulgence, serve warm with vanilla ice cream.  Ohhhhh, yeah.

***Try below recipe with the remaining peanut butter cups and tell me how it is.  After I pop out baby #2, it's go-time!
