Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Egg Brownies

Hello, Spring.

I love so much about you. Namely, Reese’s Eggs. Don’t get me wrong, I eat every shape of Reese’s out there, but the eggs are my favorite. They were the first shape that I ever had as a child and they have long since remained a favorite. The chocolate to peanut butter ratio is just plain perfect, if you ask me.

So, it’s Spring and that means that you can find me not outside, amidst the sunshine and budding flowers, but locked in our pantry, hiding from the children while I shove Reese’s eggs in my face at breakneck speeds so that I’m not caught and forced to share.

Ahhh, parenthood. It’s exactly like I imagined as a child, except not.

Anyway, to celebrate the season where I binge on peanut butter eggs, I thought we’d make some brownies. I found some Reese’s Pieces pastel eggs at my local grocery store and decided to stock up on those for my hidden snacking, too. They made a great addition to these brownies!

I was out of cocoa powder, so I just used a box mix to make these Spring inspired brownies, but my favorite brownie recipe would have been even better!

I used the smaller Reese’s Eggs in these brownies, the ones that come in a big bag and will fit inside a plastic Easter egg if you do a little squishing, not the full size ones that come in a 6 pack with the cardboard in each package.  You can use the big ones if you want, but I tend to eat all of those before I can ever bake with them. The shame. It’s crippling.
