  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup milk

  • 1 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Base: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan (or line with parchment paper).
  2. In a large bowl, combine melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Add cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Whisk until evenly incorporated, breaking up any lumps.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Gradually add flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Fold in chopped Oreo cookies.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake the Brownie Base: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
  11. Prepare the Reese’s Fudge Layer: In a large bowl, cream together butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  12. Add peanut butter, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and smooth.
  13. Fold in chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
  14. Assemble the Oreo Reese’s Fudge Brownies: Once the brownie base has cooled completely, spread the Reese’s fudge layer evenly over the top.
  15. If desired, sprinkle the finely crushed Oreo cookies over the fudge layer.
  16. Refrigerate the brownies for at least 1 hour to allow the fudge layer to set.
  17. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!

Notes
