Reese's Stuffed Pretzel Brownies - Gooey chocolate brownies and a salty-sweet pretzel crust, stuffed with Reese's peanut butter cups and topped with Reese's pieces! A Reese's lover's dream! | LoveGrowsWild.com

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of REESE’S® Brand for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

What if I told I have a GIANT, super-awesome secret that involves Reese’s, brownies, basketball, and YOU! Are you totally confused yet? I’ve been dropping little hints on Instagram the past few weeks at what this huge surprise may be, and today I FINALLY get to spill the beans!! Are you ready for this epic chocolate and peanut-buttery treat?

Here it is folks: Reese’s Stuffed Pretzel Brownies! Let me say that again… Reese’s STUFFED Pretzel Brownies! I’m talking about gooey chocolate brownies loaded with Reese’s Pieces, baked on top of a sweet and salty pretzel crust, with Reese’s peanut butter cups stuffed in between. Perfect for all the Reese’s lovers out there! And the best part? It all starts with a simple box brownie mix, so you can have these delicious brownies in the oven in no time!

Now are you ready for the BIG surprise? My brownie recipe is competing in the REESE’S® Baking Bracket Challenge!

How exciting is that?? My Reese’s recipe is one of 32 competing in this bracket-style challenge, and each week the recipes that receive the most votes will move on to the next round. Sounds familiar, right?

This fun (and delicious!) challenge is to help you get ready for all the big college basketball games coming up, and Walmart and Reese’s want to help you make game day perfect. Gather your friends and family, stock up on supplies for the game (especially these brownies!), and get ready to cheer on your favorite team. You can find the perfect Game Day Recipes and make your crowd go wild for less with Walmart’s affordable, everyday low prices.

So instead of begging shamelessly for your votes (which I’m totally going to do in a minute or two!), I’m going to win you over with photos so drool-worthy, you’ll dream about these Reese’s stuffed brownies tonight!

The recipe starts with an easy-to-make pretzel crust, which adds a perfect salty-sweet layer to the brownies. Then you mix up a box of store-bought brownie batter with a handful of delicious Reese’s pieces and spread a thin layer over the pretzel crust. Now here comes the best part…

A beautiful, scrumptious layer of REESE’S® Peanut Butter Cups! Regular brownies are great, but these brownies with a creamy peanut butter cup hidden inside are something truly special. You can never have enough chocolate or peanut butter in my opinion! Am I right?

The peanut butter cups then get topped with the remaining brownie batter and a healthy sprinkling of additional Reese’s pieces. Doesn’t all that orange and yellow just make you smile?

Author: Liz Fourez
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 9
Ingredients
  • Crust:
  • 1½ cups finely ground pretzels
  • 9 tablespoons butter, melted
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar

  • Brownies:
  • box of brownie mix, plus ingredients to prepare brownies
  • 9 Reese's peanut butter cups
  • ½ cup Reese's pieces
Instructions
  1. For the crust: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line an 8x8" baking dish with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  2. Add pretzels to a food processor and process until finely ground. Add melted butter and brown sugar and process again until combined. Dump pretzel mixture into prepared baking dish and press to form a crust in the bottom of the dish. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. For the brownies: Lower oven temperature to 325ºF. Prepare brownie mix according to directions on package. Add ½ cup of brownie batter over the pretzel crust and spread in an even layer.
  4. Place 9 peanut butter cups over the brownie batter, evenly spaced in 3 rows of 3.
  5. Add ¼ cup of Reese's pieces to the remaining brownie batter and mix to combine. Pour remaining batter over the peanut butter cups, and spread gently until cups are completely covered.
  6. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cups of Reese's pieces and bake at 325ºF for 40-45 minutes. Cool at least 2 hours before cutting to serve.
Notes
- You can also add pretzels to a zip-top bag to crush them.
- Check brownies at 40 minutes. Center should still be slightly soft, and will set once cooled.

Who wants to go shopping with me?! Well, virtuall Who wants to go shopping with me?!

Well, virtually... but I promise it will still be fun! I took a trip to a store I've never been to before and found some of the prettiest decor for such a good deal at @tuesdaymorning. #ad After all the snow we've had the last few weeks, getting out of the house and putting real clothes on for a solo shopping trip felt like such a treat!

A few of my favorite finds were: an extra-long lumbar pillow for my sofa, beautiful black textured bowls that I can't decide if I want to actually use in my kitchen or decorate with, a bouquet of dried greenery, and a new dog bed for Remington. I will be sharing how I styled these items on the blog next week, so stay tuned!

Swipe to see video of my shopping trip and all that you can find at a Tuesday Morning near you! Do you have a store close to you? Have you been before? Let me know in the comments!

Later this week: sharing a home decor shopping trip to a store I’ve never been to before, photographing my office (just wait till you see how big of a difference adding some shelves in here made), unboxing tons of new spring items for @lovegrowswildmarket, and adding some artwork to this blank wall!

Which are you most excited to see? P.S. still absolutely obsessed with the new dining chairs 😍

Yesterday I had a design meeting with one of my to Yesterday I had a design meeting with one of my toughest clients yet... my teenage son. 😂 Actually, he is probably the easiest person to please, and his requests for the upcoming bedroom makeover we are planning were pretty simple:

• blackout curtains so he can sleep in on weekends
• a new darker paint color
• somewhere to charge all his devices

I think I can handle that! This room is quite a challenge with the small size & layout, but I think we’ve come up with a game plan to make it more functional and much more “him”. 

Once I catch up on all my current projects and design work, I’m excited to dive into making this space perfect for him! P.S. where did my little boy go that wanted Thomas the Train as the theme in his bedroom? 🥺

One of the biggest challenges in this space was finding the right size furniture to maximize the small space & functionality without sacrificing design. She wanted to keep the house light, bright and airy while still feeling warm & cozy, and this feels like the right balance with soft whites & grays paired with wood tones & natural fibers. 

You can get all the details on this MASSIVE renovation & all the decor sources on the blog!

Now that the snow is almost melted, I can’t help but daydream about what I’m going to plant this year, dinners out on the deck, and naps under the shade of the gazebo.
