Another one of my P.M.S cures

June 11, 2008 ·
These might look a tad bit familiar. Last month I made a delicious P.M.S cure cookie.
This is another take on that ever so popular Reese’s Cup Peanut Butter Cookie.
However this time it is in a bite sized brownie. I actually had 2 packages of those mini Reese’s cup baking pieces in the pantry that I have been wanting to use. I was a little disappointed in them though. They are very cute itty bitty Reese’s Cups( about the size of a pencil eraser), But I wasnt satisified with them in flavor. The amount of peanut butter in them was minuscule. So I decided to just chop up my own Miniature Reese’s cups. It was my husbands idea for the bite sized brownies(kudos to him). They are soooooooooo yummy. Again the universe unites with Chocolate and Peanut butter. Seriously folks…can it get any better than that? Ok, maybe the $30 million lottery! But hell hasn’t frozen over quite yet..so I am going to stick with the brownies!!!

    This might cure many diseases, it looks fabulous! Peanut Butter cups have bben my favorite since I was a child. I’m sure I would have no problem eating at least five in one sitting.

    the good (and bad) thing about bite-sized brownies is that you can eat a bunch and not feel guilty! i agree wholeheartedly about the reese’s baking bits–completely unsatisfactory. you know, i might begin to look forward to pms if i have these little delights to soothe me… 🙂

    Anything with reese’s is always fantastic. These look so good and are probably highly addictive!

    Oh man, those look incredible. I don’t have much need for a PMS cure myself, but I’ll try these on my wife next month.

    Those look delicious! If you have a Trader Joe’s near you, they make the BEST mini peanut-butter cups. I put them in my last batch of brownies and they were incredible.
