Steps to Create Your Chewy REESEs PIECES Peanut Butter Brownies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy lifting.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter. Whisk until smooth and creamy—much like painting those early morning memories with my mum.
3. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Remember, over-mixing is the enemy of a perfect brownie!
5. Gently fold in 1 cup of the REESEs PIECES, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup for topping.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved REESEs PIECES over the top.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. The center should be a little gooey—just like the heart of a good story.
8. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Slice into squares and enjoy the chewy, chocolatey goodness with a touch of nostalgia.

Tips for Making the Best Chewy REESEs PIECES Peanut Butter Brownies

A few tips from my kitchen to yours: First, always use room-temperature eggs—they mix more evenly and give your brownies a better texture. Second, don’t rush the cooling process. I know it’s hard to resist, but letting the brownies set ensures they hold their shape when sliced. Finally, try serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly indulgent treat.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

These brownies are a delightful standalone treat, but if you’re hosting a gathering or simply feeling fancy, serve them with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Pair with a hot cup of Earl Grey tea—it’s a nod to those countless afternoons spent sipping tea with my mum, the warmth of the drink perfectly complementing the rich, chewy brownies.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days, although they’re unlikely to last that long! For a longer shelf life, freeze them individually wrapped in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, and they’ll taste freshly baked all over again.
