Reese's Pieces Cream Cheese Brownies

Today I had a massive craving for chocolate and peanut butter (happens to me often), so I decided to experiment with a new brownie recipe. As I was planning out my recipe I threw some cream cheese in there for good measure because who doesn't love cheesecake?

I chose to use boxed brownie mix to save time (with a nine month old underfoot time is hard to come by) but you could use your favourite from scratch recipe if you prefer. 

These brownies turned out amazing and were super easy to make. The hardest part was waiting for them to chill so that I could cut them (and of course stuff my face!)

Reese's Pieces Cream Cheese Brownies

Prep Time: 15 min    Cooking Time: 25 min     Chilling Time: 2 hrs     Total Time:  2hrs 40 min

Ingredients

1 box Brownie Mix (and ingredients listed on box to prepare brownies)

1 pkg Cream Cheese

1 cup Peanut Butter

1/2 cup Butter

1 cup Icing Sugar

1 pkg Chocolate Chips

1/4 cup Warm Milk

2 boxes Reese's Pieces

Instructions

  •  Prepare brownie mix according to instructions on the package.

  •  Instead of using one 8-inch pan divide the mix between two 8-inch pans. I like to line my pans with wax paper to make it easier to pop the brownies out. Remember to reduce cooking time as mix is spread thinner.

  • While brownies are cooking prepare the cream cheese layer. Blend cream cheese, peanut butter and 1/4 cup butter with electric mixer. When combined slowly add icing sugar.

  • Allow brownies to cool and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top.

  • In a medium saucepan melt 1/4 cup butter and the chocolate chips.

  • Once fully melted stir in the warm milk.

  • Spread chocolate mixture over the cream cheese layer.

  • Top with Reese's pieces candies.

  • Refrigerate for at least two hours before cutting.
