Equipment

Ingredients

Brownies

  • 1 cup butter melted
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup cocoa
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons vanilla
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup peanut butter

Frosting

  • ¼ cup butter softened
  • 4 Tablespoons whipping cream
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • ¼ cup cocoa
  • 1 pound powdered sugar

Topping

  • ¾ cup salted peanuts chopped
  • 24 mini Reese's peanut butter cups
  • ¾ cup peanut butter chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease 9 x 13 inch pan with non stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine melted butter, salt, cocoa and vanilla.
  • Stir in the sugar and eggs.
  • Add in the flour and peanut butter and mix until smooth.
  • Pour into prepared pan and bake for 22-25 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let cool.
  • While the brownies cool, prepare frosting by beating butter, whipping cream, water, and cream cheese in a bowl on medium speed until fluffy.
  • Gradually beat in cocoa and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread over cooled brownies.
  • Sprinkle peanuts, peanut butter cups, and peanut butter chips on top of the frosting.
  • Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • These brownies do freeze quite well. They are better fresh, but I have frozen them, and they thaw nicely. We recommend freezing them in an airtight container.
