Ingredients - Here's What You'll Need
Steps to Make Ultimate Reese's Stuffed Brookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F. To make the bottom layer, prepare the Reese's Pieces Cookie Mix dough according to package directions, stopping short of forming and baking the cookies.
- Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper and secure with oven-proof baking clips. Then, put on a pair of vinyl gloves, because the cookie dough will be extremely sticky, and press the prepared cookie dough into the bottom of the pan, making sure to cover the entire bottom of the pan.
- Press a layer of 24 unwrapped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups into the cookie dough.
- Next, prepare the Reese's Brownie mix according to the package directions.
- Then, pour the brownie mixture over the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and smooth out the mixture using a silicone spatula, making sure to cover all of the peanut butter cups.
- Next, press Reese's Pieces and Reese's Unwrapped Minis into the top of the brownie mixture. Bake in a 350°F oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven, place on a wire rack, and allow to cool completely in the pan.
- Once cooled, remove from the pan and peel the parchment away from the brookies. Place on a cutting board, cut into serving-size pieces, and enjoy!
Ultimate Reese's Stuffed Brookies are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They're easy to make, bursting with flavor, and sure to be a crowd-pleaser. So ditch the ordinary and impress everyone with this decadent treat.
Frequently Asked Questions
A Brookie is a delicious dessert that combines the best of two worlds: brownies and cookies! It's made by layering or swirling together brownie batter and cookie dough, then baking it all in one pan. The result is a bar with a chewy cookie base and a rich, fudgy brownie top. Sometimes, people even add a fun element by placing a whole peanut butter cup in the center for an extra gooey surprise, like in this Ultimate Reese's Stuffed Brookies recipe!
Absolutely! While Reese's cups are the classic choice, you can experiment with other flavors like dark chocolate peanut butter cups, almond butter cups, or even white chocolate peanut butter cups.
Yes! These brookies freeze well. Let them cool completely, then slice, wrap them individually in two layers of plastic wrap, and store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
There are many ways to add an extra touch of deliciousness to your brookies. Try sprinkling them with sea salt before baking, drizzle them with melted chocolate after baking, or use as a base for a brownie sundae for a real showstopper!
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Chill the Cookie Dough: Pop your cookie dough in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before using. This will make it easier to press into the bottom of the pan.
- Don't Overmix the Brownie Batter: Overmixing the brownie batter can lead to tough brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Freeze the Peanut Butter Cups: For an extra gooey peanut butter center, pop your unwrapped Reese's cups in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before placing them on the cookie dough.
- Don't Over-bake: These brookies are all about the gooey center. Keep an eye on them during baking and take them out when the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
