A quick and easy skillet brownie recipe featuring fudgy brownie mix and chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, perfect for game day or any indulgent occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (around 18 oz or 510 g) fudgy brownie mix (e.g., Ghirardelli or Betty Crocker)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil (can substitute with melted coconut oil)
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) water
  • 10–12 regular-sized Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • Optional: sea salt flakes for sprinkling on top before baking

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your skillet on the stove over low heat for 2-3 minutes to warm it slightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable. Add a splash more water if too stiff.
  3. Fold in chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top later.
  4. Pour the batter into the warm skillet. Smooth the top evenly with a spatula. Scatter the reserved peanut butter cups on top, gently pressing them into the surface.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check after 20 minutes; edges should be set and starting to crisp, center fudgy and slightly gooey. Insert a toothpick near the edge; it should come out with moist crumbs.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top immediately after removing from the oven.
  7. Cool slightly for 10 minutes before serving to let the brownie set but keep peanut butter cups melty.

Notes

If skillet is not non-stick, lightly grease before adding batter. Do not overmix batter to avoid toughness. Use an oven thermometer for consistent baking temperature. Let brownie cool 10 minutes before serving for best gooey texture. Can substitute peanut butter cups for nut-free or vegan options.
