Reese's Peanut Butter Brownies are a chocolate and peanut butter lover's dream! Chewy homemade brownies with an amazing smooth peanut butter frosting. Topped with chocolate glaze and mini reese's cups. – Tastes Better From Scratch
What's your go-to dessert if you're craving something chocolate? Mine are BROWNIES. If you follow my blog you may have noticed that since I post brownie recipes quite often 🙂 Some of my favorite homemade brownie recipes include:
Zucchini Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting
Caramel Poke Rocky Road Brownies
Peppermint Candy Cane Brownies
Triple Chocolate Brownie Bites
These Reese's Peanut Butter Brownies are just as amazing as they look. I like to make them 1 day in advance because I think they taste even better after the brownies have had time to cool in the fridge. Or, if you want to save prep time, you could make the brownies a day in advance and then frost them the next day.
You can't beat the peanut butter/chocolate combo, can you? Hopefully these completely satisfy your sweet tooth!

Ingredients
-
Brownies:
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup salted butter, melted
- 4 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 6 Tbsp milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Dash salt
-
Peanut Butter Frosting:
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup milk
-
Chocolate Glaze:
- 6 oz (about 1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 5 Tbs butter
- 1 small bag of mini Reese's chocolates, unwrapped and chopped
Instructions
-
Brownies:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a mixing bowl add granulated and brown sugars and melted butter. Beat until well combined. Add eggs and egg yolk, beating after each addition. Add milk and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix just until combined. The batter will be thick. Pour batter into a greased 9x13'' baking pan and spread into an even layer.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
Peanut Butter Frosting:
- Beat together butter, and peanut butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla and beat again until combined. Add milk, beating well until light and fluffy. (Add more milk or powdered sugar if needed to make the frosting thicker or thinner). Smooth frosting over the top of brownies. Refrigerate while you make the chocolate topping.
Chocolate Glaze:
- Place chocolate chips and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until just melted and smooth. Allow to cool for 3-4 minutes. Spread evenly over the frosted brownies. Add chopped reese's chocolate to the top. Return to fridge to allow the chocolate to harden. Cut into squares and serve!
