Making Easy Reese’s Stuffed Brookie Cups

Preheat your oven to 350ºF and spray a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Cut your tube of refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough into 12 pieces and place them in each cup of the muffin pan. Press the cookie dough down to flatten.

Pour the brownie batter over the peanut butter cups. Use just enough to cover the candy and fill the muffin cups 3/4 full.

Bake the brookie cups at 350ºF for 18-20 minutes, just until set. The center of each brookie might sink down just a bit because of the candy in the middle. This is okay!

Remove the brookie cups from the pan with a butter knife and serve warm.

How to Serve Easy Reese’s Stuffed Brookie Cups

While these amazing brookies are perfect all by themselves, we loved them with ice cream! Here are some great topping ideas:

  • Vanilla bean ice cream (or your favorite flavor!)
  • Hot fudge or chocolate sauce
  • Marshmallow creme
  • Fresh strawberries or raspberries
  • Whipped cream
  • Peanut butter sauce
  • Chopped peanut butter cups
  • Crushed OREO cookies

Can I Leave Out the Peanut Butter Cup?

Due to allergies or food preferences, you may need to not include the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. That is fine! The brookies will be delicious, even without the peanut butter cup.
