Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 5 ounces (142 grams) unsweetened baking chocolate, cut into chunks
- 3 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups (350 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
Peanut Butter Components:
- 1/3 cup (75 grams) salted butter
- 1/3 cup (80 grams) creamy peanut butter
- 12 Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt chocolate, peanut butter, and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Allow the melted mixture to cool for approximately 5 minutes to prevent scrambling eggs.
- Whip sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl using a high-speed mixer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Gradually incorporate the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture on low speed, ensuring thorough blending.
- Gently fold in flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.
- Prepare the muffin tin by lightly coating each cavity with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Distribute a tablespoon of brownie batter into each muffin cavity, creating a thin base layer.
- Carefully place a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup in the center of each batter-filled cavity, gently pressing down to slightly embed the candy.
- Top each Reese’s cup with an additional teaspoon of brownie batter, ensuring complete coverage and encasement.
- Transfer the muffin tin to a preheated oven at 350°F and bake for 20 minutes until the brownie edges are set and slightly crisp.
- Remove from the oven and allow the stuffed brownies to cool completely in the tin before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Gently remove the brownies from the muffin tin, revealing the melted Reese’s surprise within each decadent treat.
Notes
- Melt chocolate and butter gently to prevent burning, using low heat and constant stirring ensures smooth texture.
- Beat eggs and sugar thoroughly until light and fluffy, creating air pockets for a soft, decadent brownie consistency.
- Use room temperature ingredients to help them blend more easily and create a more uniform batter.
- For gluten-free option, swap regular flour with almond or coconut flour, maintaining the rich chocolate flavor while accommodating dietary needs.
