Peanut Butter Cup Brownies
Anna Williams
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat oven to 400° F.
Step 2
Melt the butter and chocolate in a pan over low heat.
Step 3
Using a mixer, beat the eggs and sugar until pale yellow and fluffy. Lower speed and pour in the melted chocolate and vanilla. Mix in the flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Fold in the peanut butter cups.
Step 4
Scrape into a buttered 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Bake until the tip of a knife comes out clean, about 35 minutes.

I made these and they were fantastic. My daughter said they were the best she ever ate. I suspect the ones without success didn't beat the eggs and sugar enough and mixed too much after adding flour. I cooked for the recommended time, edges were a bit hard when first made but after cutting and storing overnight they were perfect.

There is nothing special about this recipe. You can easily add chopped candy to any brownie recipe!
I have not made these, but it is NORMAL for there to be more sugar than flour in a brownie recipe. That is what makes the shiny, brittle crust and the chewy texture. I have been making Martha Stewart's recipe from her book ENTERTAINING for years. The proportions there are: 1 1/2 cups sugar and 3/4 cup all-purpose flour for an 8" square pan. There must be moist crumbs on the toothpick when they are done, or they will be dry.
HOWEVER, my recipe calls for 4 eggs, which is only 1/2 as many as the recipe here; hmmmmm.......?

Well, I clicked on the peanut butter cup picture, and it didn't do anything. How can one win like that?

Having read the recipe, I am surprise that no one had tried this, reverse the amounts of the sugar and flour, that seems to be the issue, 3 cups of flour and 1.5 cups sugar. Did that, and they are heavenly.

Was going to try this recipe but as I look at the ingredients I can't believe that 3 cups of sugar and 1 1/2 cups of flour is correct????

I tried this recipe but cheated and it came out great, I took a package brownie mix and stirred in the penut butter cups and used penut oil for the oil the package mix asked for. I followed the recipe for fudgy brownies on the box. I used the package directions for baking times and pan size as well.. They came out great, when cooled about 3/4 of the way I made a penutbutter frosting and then drizzled melted chocolate over the top for a real penut butter cup taste. I can't give a calorie count for this since it put it into the stratosphere I'm sure. But the hubby and kids loved it. I thought it was a little too sweet with the penut butter frosting, I liked it with the PB cups and not frosted.

Got too crusty. Will try one more time in glass baking dish. Taste great, but burned on edges. Hopefully a better outcome. Were easy to mix up and tasted great.

this recipe is definitely not right...have made them twice already and followed directions to a T...will be trying with more flour next time as these brownies were definitely 'too goooey'...if that doesn't work this recipe will be going to the junk pile...
