It was given to me by a friend who's family loved it. Her nephew said it was the BEST thing she has ever baked. :). Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
10 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped |
1 cup butter |
1 cup granulated sugar |
5 large eggs |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 (8 ounce) package miniature peanut butter cups, quartered, divided |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter |
4 -6 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. Brownies: Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Line bottom and 2 sides of 8-inch square baking pan with foil.
3. In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder; set aside.
4. In a pot, melt chocolate and butter over medium heat.
5. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until combined.
6. Stir in flour mixture until combined.
7. Spread 1 cup of batter in pan.
8. Set aside about 32 peanut butter cup quarters and sprinkle remaining onto batter in pan and top with remaining batter.
9. Bake for about 40 minutes or until edges are set and center is slightly soft.
10. Cool completely on rack before frosting.
