These fudgy peanut butter cup brownies feature a perfect balance of gooey centers and crispy edges, with melty peanut butter cups inside for a delicious treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 12–15 standard size peanut butter cups, chopped roughly

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined and glossy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until smooth and thick.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently with a spatula until no flour streaks remain. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in chopped peanut butter cups, reserving a handful for topping.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle reserved peanut butter cups on top.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes. Edges should be set and crisp, center slightly soft with moist crumbs on a toothpick.
  9. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
  10. Use parchment paper overhang to lift brownies out and cut into 12 squares. Wipe knife clean between cuts for neat edges.

Notes

If peanut butter cups start melting too fast during mixing, chill the batter for 10 minutes before baking. Avoid overmixing to keep brownies fudgy. Use a metal pan for best crispy edges. Check baking time closely as oven temperatures vary.
