Every special occasion needs a special treat, at least in my world. So for Mother’s Day this year, I made my mother-in-law, Gigi, the most scrumptious and decadent brownie I could dream up.
Since she’s a lover of all things chocolate and peanut butter, I put the two together to create the dreamiest dessert you can imagine.

Ingredients
Brownie
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 (12 oz) bag mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, cut into quarters (divided)
Peanut Butter Fudge Frosting
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 (15 oz) jar natural peanut butter
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper, set aside.

- Meanwhile: Combine cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add sugar. Beat on low until combined, then switch to medium speed and beat until light and creamy. Add peanut butter, vanilla, and salt. Beat mixture until well combined.
