Category: Brownies/Blondies
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1 packaged brownie mix (or your favorite brownie recipe-make sure it is for a 13×9 pan, NOT an 8×8!)

Ingredients called for on the brownie mix

12 Reese’s peanut butter cups

2 cups milk chocolate chips

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 and 1/2 tablespoons shortening or coconut oil, separated (I used shortening)

Line a 9 x 13 pan with tin foil or parchment paper and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Prepare the brownies according to package directions. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 16-17 minutes and then remove.
Press the unwrapped peanut butter cups evenly into the brownies.
Return the brownies to the oven and bake for another 5-6 minutes or until a fork when inserted into the brownies comes out clean. (Mine needed an additional 7 minutes, they were nowhere near done enough, but I think my oven tends to run a little cooler…….)
Remove and allow to cool.
In a microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of shortening or coconut oil. Microwave in bursts of 30 seconds stirring in between the bursts until the chocolate is completely melted.
Smooth the chocolate over the brownies evenly.
In another small microwave safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and remaining 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening. Microwave for 30 seconds.
Remove and stir in the vanilla.
Pour in long stripes over the chocolate. Using a butter knife marble the top by running the knife horizontally from left to right just through the top chocolate and peanut butter layers.
Allow to completely harden before enjoying the bars.
