Now I'm going to let you in on a little secret...I don't like peanut butter, there I've said it! I see delicious recipes using peanut butter all the time, but I just can't stand peanuts! Although I'm not a peanut butter person I actually ended up with some Reeses bits and pieces for Christmas, so instead of just passing them on to someone else, I thought I'd put them into some delicious brownies! I used Reeses Pieces and the chocolate bar but you can use cups or another product really!
Ingredients -
185g unsalted butter
185g dark chocolate
85g plain flour
40g cocoa powder
3 eggs
275g caster sugar
100g Reeses chocolate bar, chopped (or cups or whatever you'd like and can chop up!)
1/2 box Reeses Pieces
Method -
1. In a microwavable bowl, cut the butter into cubes and break the dark chocolate into chunks. Melt in the microwave at 30 second increments until smooth and combined. Set aside to cool.
2. While the chocolate is cooling, preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/Gas Mark 4. Grease and line a 9x13 inch baking tin.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Pour in the cooled chocolate mixture and fold until combined. Add in the flour and cocoa powder and carefully fold in. Finally stir in the chopped Reeses chocolate bar and the pieces, reserving some for the top.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and even out with a spatula, dot some of the pieces on the top. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, until the top has a papery crust and is still a little wobbly in the middle.
5. Allow brownies to cool fully in the tin before turning out and cutting into squares.
I hate peanut butter as well, however I really like reese's which is very strange - must give these a go!
