Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Reese’s Pieces give that extra peanut butter taste to these Reese’s Rocky Road Brownies. They are ooey, gooey and delicious!
One thing that I have always done since getting married is wash and fold the laundry. As a stay at home mom, it is just one of those things you do without really thinking about it. And quite honestly, I don’t mind doing laundry. Well, most days that is 🙂
When the kids were younger, I also sorted all the folded clothes into piles and put everyone’s clothes into their drawers. I like neat organized piles, and I like drawers that are clean looking. As the kids got older, one of the jobs that I “gave up” was putting the folded laundry away. It was time for them to learn some responsibility and for them to take on more chores. This resulted in me having to give up control of those neat organized drawers.
Seriously I’m not sure why I still fold their clothes because when they put it away it is shoved in every which way possible. For my sanity’s sake, I try not to look in those drawers. The mess drives me to want more chocolate…and more Reese’s candies.
I have decided that no matter what “diet” I am on or trying to do, I just can’t give up my beloved peanut butter and chocolate. Plus, I have see how you guys go crazy for the recipes using that wonderful combo. You all are just as nuts for that good stuff. LOL that pun was totally intended.
So the other day when I helped my daughter organize her entire room (drawers included) I knew that some sort of chocolate brownie was needed after hours of organizing. It was the only thing that helped get me off the “why is your room such a pig sty” ledge that I was on. Adding Reese’s peanut butter cups under the melty marshmallow layer AND Reese’s pieces on top was just the thing I needed to put me into a sugar coma of forgetfulness.
What messy drawers?
This is such an easy brownie recipe to put together. Bake your favorite brownies. Go ahead and use a mix or make homemade brownies if that’s how you roll. Most days I’m a brownie mix fan, but you do what you have to do.
As soon as the brownies come out of the oven, place an entire bag of those Reese’s mini peanut butter cups on top. You need to work quickly because they will start to melt and slide. That’s not a problem though because then you are going to cover it with a layer of peanuts and marshmallows. Put it back in the oven to get all warm and toasty for about 5 minutes. As soon as they come out, add the Reese’s Pieces to the top for some fun color and texture.
This is definitely a brownie for the serious sugar lover. Grab a cup of milk and dig in!!
Make sure you don’t miss any of the crazy baking

These look good, taste good although I used less nuts. It seemed like too many as I was layering them on and I’ve had layered brownies before that the layers separate and wanted to avoid that. My biggest issue is these are not good for a big party or anything requiring you to cut them up. Better to pick at at home. Def. do not want to be under pressure to cut them up quickly!! I made them for the church bake sale. I had to hold my knife under the hot tap every 3 inches of brownie to cut thru the marshmallows. Frustrating. FYI Gordon Food Service has bags of Reese’s PB cup pieces. Now that was easy!
Hubby would love these! Can’t wait to try this. Just pinned!
Ok, these brownies combine most of my most favorite things ever. I cannot wait to try these!
These look and sound so yummy! I love Reese’s Pieces. If it wasn’t for this darn diet I’d be in the kitchen making them.
Hugs, Smiles & Blessings,

These look fabulous Jocelyn! Thanks so much for sharing them on the Project Inspire{d} party this week 🙂
I hope you have a great weekend! 🙂

These look absolutely amazing and right up my alley!
These look AMAZING!!! Pinned and I can’t wait to try them!
Heavens Jocelyn! These brownies are like a dream come true!
Dream come true is definitely the way to describe these brownies. Thanks Trish!!!
Oh. my. goodness. These look so amazing!! My husband LOVES Reeses Peices! He would flip over these!
Sounds to me like your hubby needs a pan of brownies 🙂
Oh wow! Those look so tasty. Great work.
Thank you Jodi!!!
WOW! Those look amazing!
Thanks Diana 🙂
Yumalicious…pinning!
Thank you so much Kristen!!!
I have a weakness for Reese’s pieces – love these!!
Reese’s are my all time weakness too!!!
Yeah, there’s no way I’m giving up my chocolate and pb either! These look SO gooey. I love the just-slightly-toasted/puffy marshmallows on top. YUM!
And the drawersssss. I am the same way with my clothes! Everything needs to be hung tangle-free and in color-coordinated order! However, when I go in my sister’s room, it looks like a danger-zone. Her clothes are everywhere and basically, her dresser is uselessly empty in the corner. Sigh. Need more chocolate.
That is a great way to describe my daughter’s room…danger zone! I think I need a sign for her door like that 🙂 Bring on more toasted and puffy marshmallow bars!!!
These look incredible! Pinning! I also have started having my kids put their laundry away. It’s hard to watch after I spent all that time folding it.
It is the hardest to watch after doing all the work at folding it. I keep threatening to just toss the clothes in baskets and make them fold now.
Do not remind me about laundry! I hate folding clothes. I have no problem putting them on hangers in the closet, but dislike having to fold small ones and arrange in the drawers.
That’s why chocolate is my BFF and I have the feeling I’d end up BFF with these bars as well
These brownies are definitely my new chocolate BFF…so much so, that I’m contemplating another batch very, very soon!
mmmm! The reese’s pieces look like they are floating on little marshmallow clouds. 🙂 and with brownies underneath. What a dessert Jocelyn! I want to go head first into the batch.
Head first is definitely the way to go into these brownies. Marshmallow clouds huh? I love it!!!
haha I think I’v got 6 loads of laundry waiting for me as I write this, but this dessert would totally make it easier!
Dessert always makes chores seem more doable 🙂
A bite of one of these brownies could make you forget quite a few things! I could use a couple to get through this long afternoon!
These would definitely make you forget any and all problems!!!
These look amazing!! And you definitely deserved a treat like this after organizing your daughter’s drawers!
Thanks Stephanie. I needed a whole pan after organizing her room 🙂
I have to admit, I dont fold my laundry because it all get shoved into my draws anyways. It will take a whole pan of these brownies to forget my messy ways.
At least you are honest about the messes 🙂 Go ahead and have a brownie!!!
I love reeses…And rocky road things– so this is totally a winner in my book! Pinning!
Thank you so much Gloria!!!
Pass the pan! Mondays with brownies are the best kinda Mondays!! 🙂
I so wish we could share a pan together! Mondays need brownies every week.
A life without peanut butter and chocolate is not worth living! 😉 These sound awesome!
I agree whole heartedly with you 🙂
These look absolutely amazing! I think I need these today!! I switched to hanging most clothes up to stop them from throwing things in the drawers, especially after I iron them!!!
You do need these right away. I do have a lot of clothes hanging up but it’s the tshirts and pants that they like to stuff in drawers.
Seriously, Jocelyn, these look phenomenal!!
Thank you Ashton 🙂 They tasted even better than they look too!!!
I don’t mind doing the laundry, but putting it away always takes some sort of boredom for me to do. As for eating healthier, I will also never be able to give up the combination of peanut butter and chocolate.
Glad to hear you are with me in never giving up the chocolate and peanut butter goodness 🙂
These look and sound fantastic!
Thank you Megan.
You just get right out of town with this Reese’s action. I’m swooning. I might have to move these to the top of my list. Also, I fold my husband’s clothes for him, and mostly he just leaves them in a pile on the bedroom floor. At least your kids make it into the drawer. Man, you should have another brownie.
My husband just put away a pile of his clothes…from the floor too! I think we both need more of these brownies 🙂
These look insanely delicious!! Love all the Reese’s goodness going on!
Thank you so much Becca!
Rocky road plus peanut butter? Perfect! I’ll have to try this!
I hope you definitely get a chance to make these. Let me know what you think 🙂
O my goodness! These are making me drool! 🙂

LOL then I have done my job well 🙂
I’ve given up on the drawers too. As long as clothes aren’t shoved under the bed or on the closet floor I’m good. If I were to help organize my kids rooms, I’d need two pans of these! Looks good!
I have to keep after my kids about the floor and under the beds too. Two pans of these would definitely help with any cleaning task.
Organizing you daughters room totally calls for brownies! These look killer! I need some rocky road in my life anyway! yum!
We can all use more rocky road in our lives!
MMM, brownies. You and your Reese’s!
Haha! Gotta love a good Reese’s treat 🙂
I have to admit I’m not the best at putting up my laundry :/ On another note, I love peanut butter and chocolate. I especially like all the colors in these pictures.
Thank you Megan!
Oh wow, these look sooo yummy!!! I love the combination if brownie, marshmallow and peanut butter cups! What an easy treat to make, too!
Blessings,
Leslie
Brownie, marshmallow, and peanut butter cup is a combo worth repeating every week 🙂 There were very easy to make!!!
WOW! These are amazing brownies. And OMG the drawers. Jordan’s don’t even shut all the way because of how she puts away her laundry. SO annoying!
Yeah…that’s how my daughter’s drawers look most days too. I try to stay out of the room as much as possible 🙂
