Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer

Ingredients
  

Brownies

  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup salted butter melted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 dash salt

Peanut Butter Frosting

  • 1/4 cup butter room temperature
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-3 tablespoons milk as needed

Chocolate Glaze

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small bag mini Reese's chocolates unwrapped and chopped

Instructions
 

  • 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 9×13" 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.
  • Beat together butter, and peanut butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla and beat again until smooth. Add a little splash of 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 cooled brownies. Refrigerate while you make the chocolate topping.
  • 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 set. Cut into squares and serve!
