Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup REESE's PIECES candies (plus extra for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easier removal later.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and melted butter until smooth. Add in the brown sugar and granulated sugar, mixing until well incorporated.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!

          Fold in REESE's PIECES: Gently fold in the REESE's PIECES candies until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Bake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Top with additional REESE's PIECES for an extra crunch and burst of color.

              Bake Time: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

                Cool and Cut: Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
