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.
