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 clean-looking drawers.
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 responsibility and take on more chores. That meant I had 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 seen how you guys love 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 me get off the "why is your room such a pigsty" ledge 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 brownie recipe is so easy 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, top them with an entire bag of those Reese's mini peanut butter cups. 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 warm and toast 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!

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!!!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
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.
Ashton says
Seriously, Jocelyn, these look phenomenal!!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Thank you Ashton 🙂 They tasted even better than they look too!!!
Erin @ The Spiffy Cookie says
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.
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Glad to hear you are with me in never giving up the chocolate and peanut butter goodness 🙂
Megan says
These look and sound fantastic!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Thank you Megan.
Renee @ Awesome on $20 says
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.
Jocelyn Brubaker says
My husband just put away a pile of his clothes...from the floor too! I think we both need more of these brownies 🙂
Becca @ Crumbs and Chaos says
These look insanely delicious!! Love all the Reese's goodness going on!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Thank you so much Becca!

Jocelyn Brubaker says
LOL then I have done my job well 🙂
Tanya says
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!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
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.
Tieghan says
Organizing you daughters room totally calls for brownies! These look killer! I need some rocky road in my life anyway! yum!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
We can all use more rocky road in our lives!

Brownie, marshmallow, and peanut butter cup is a combo worth repeating every week 🙂 There were very easy to make!!!
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust says
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!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Yeah...that's how my daughter's drawers look most days too. I try to stay out of the room as much as possible 🙂
