What could possibly make brownies any better? How about topping them with the salty, peanut buttery goodness that is a Reese’s peanut butter cup. These brownies are filled with a warm fudge ripple and melted chocolate chunks. When you need a pan of brownies to a) seriously impress someone or b) soothe a broken heart THESE ARE THE BROWNIES FOR YOU. If you’re a peanut butter addict like me, add a little (or a big) drizzle of melted peanut butter after you take the brownies out of the oven. You won’t regret it.

- For Fudge Ripple
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease an 8x8 pan.
- Melt 1 stick of butter and add to a medium bowl. Add sugar and beat with an electric mixer until combined. Add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, and fold into mixture until well combined. Set bowl aside.
- Roughly chop 1/4 C of the milk chocolate chunks and add into batter, folding to combine.
- In a small sauce pan, add 2 Tbsp of butter and half and half, melting on low heat. Add remaining 1/4 c of chocolate and stir, making sure the chocolate doesn't get too hot. You should be able to touch the chocolate no problem. Add chocolate fudge to batter and fold into mixture a few times, without over mixing. It should be swirled throughout your batter.
- Add batter to greased pan. Roughly chop Reese's peanut butter cups and sprinkle evenly over top of the brownies.
- Bake for 25 - 30 minutes. Brownies will still be slightly gooey in the center but shouldn't jiggle too much in the center of the pan. Remove from oven and let col for 5 - 10 minutes before cutting into brownies.
