Reese’s Cup Brownie Bites

I was at the local grocery store today which can often have very expensive prices, but behind the counter I saw a special for ½ off holiday candy. I’ve been meaning to bake something with reese’s cups, so when I saw them on sale I quickly snatched them up and whipped up something easy and bite sized that makes great peanut butter cups even better.

Who cares about holiday wrappers
when you're taking them off anyways?

Ingredients:

3/4  cup butter, melted


3/4 cup white sugar


3/4 cup brown sugar, packed


2 teaspoons vanilla extract


2 eggs


3/4 cup all-purpose flour


1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/8 cup chocolate syrup

½ teaspoon salt


40 mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Directions:

The syrup makes them super moist.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease mini cupcake pans and set aside.  In a medium bowl mix the melted butter, sugars and vanilla, and then beat in the eggs and chocolate syrup. Slowly add the flour, cocoa, and salt and mix everything together.  Fill each cupcake spot until it is about 2/3 of the way full. Finally, insert a peanut butter cup into each cupcake until it is basically in line with the chocolate batter.

Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes and then allow them to cool before removing them from their tins.

The inside was soft and gooey but the top had a light crispiness that tasted soo good. Good for any peanut butter and chocolate lover.
