Around here, we love anything with chocolate and peanut butter. So I started thinking about the combination of a standard chocolate brownie mix and peanut butter and my mind started to wander to brownies with peanut butter cups. When I saw these mini Reese’s cups, I knew I had hit jackpot. Here is how we used peanut butter cups and homemade peanut butter frosting to liven up a typical chocolate brownie mix…
Peanut Butter Cup Brownies with Easy Peanut Butter Frosting
Ingredients:
- chocolate brownie mix and eggs, water, and oil that the box calls for
- Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

- 1 small jar of peanut butter
- a couple drops of vanilla
- about a 1/2 cup of milk
Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Recipe:
1. Prepare the brownie mix (with the eggs, oil, and water) as indicated on the box.
2. Mix in the Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
3. Pour into a greased baking dish (the size as indicated on the brownies box).
4. Bake as directed by the brownie box recipe.
Easy Peanut Butter Frosting Recipe:
