Slutty Brownies Recipe

chocolate chip cookie dough.

• 1 cup butter (2 sticks) , softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups Milk Chocolate Chips (11.5-oz. pkg.)
• 1 cup nuts chopped (optional)

Brownie Recipe

• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup Hershey’s Cocoa
• 1/4 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 Tbsp. Instant Espresso
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts, optional
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Peanut Butter Cups

• 36 unwrapped peanut butter cups

How to Make Easy Slutty Brownies

For individual portions, I use a muffin tin with baking liners.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• place baking liners in muffin tin and spritz with nonstick cooking spray
• Make the coolie dough

• Press the cookie dough into the bottom of your pan. I scooped about 1 Tablespoon into each of the 36 nonstick sprayed baking liners. (Freeze any leftover cookie dough or bake cookies)

• I smoothed out the cookie dough to flatten it with the bottom of a liquid measuring cup. 

• Add Peanut Butter Cups to the top of the cookie dough (I used Boyer brand peanut butter cups. Everyone has heard of Reeses, but even though Boyer is “nationwide,” they’re usually more known for their awesome “mallow cups” than for their peanut butter “smoothies.” Boyer makes peanut butter cups in milk chocolate, but they also make “smoothies,” which are peanut butter cups surrounded by BUTTERSCOTCH. Yeah, yummy goodness…So- as an experiment- I used half chocolate-covered peanut butter cups and half butterscotch-covered peanut butter cups.)

• Make your favorite brownie batter. I suggest the ultimate fudge espresso brownie mix w/out the coffee added. (If you’re in a pinch and don’t have time to make the batter, you can use a mix- Betty Crocker makes a container to which you add a little water and shake and pour. If you use that- you’ll need at least two containers.)
• Pour brownie batter into baking liners to cover the peanut butter cups.

• They should look like this:

• Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the brownie batter is done. Use a toothpick to check for doneness.

Why Does The Cookie Dough Need To Be Room Temperature For Slutty Brownies?

For the best result, the cookie dough should be at room temperature. This allows the dough to be easily spread in the bottom of the pan and reduces the time the fat in the cookie dough takes to melt. 

Frozen or chilled dough will take longer than room-temperature dough to bake, so your bottom layer may be raw while your brownie is cooked to perfection.

Can I Change Up The Peanut Butter Cups? 

Sure! Try Oreos instead. I’m a fan of the double-stuffed but Mint and Birthday Cake Oreos are a close second! 

How To Know When Slutty Brownies Are Done 

Just like regular brownies, slutty brownies will pull away from the edge of the pan as they are done. The toothpick check works here, too, it should come out clean when inserted and removed from the center of the brownie.

How to Store Slutty Brownies

• Slutty Brownies will stay good at room temperature for up to 2 days. Keep them fresh longer by storing them in an airtight container or a sealable bag.
• Loaded brownies will stay good for 3 days in the refrigerator fridge in an airtight container. Allow the Slutty Brownies to cool to room temperature before putting them away.
• Freeze the brownies for up to 6 months in an airtight container.

Homemade VS Store Bought 

I’m all about shortcuts, and these loaded brownies work great with refrigerated cookie dough and a boxed brownie mix. It’s a quick fix to get to the treat!

Here’s the Store-Bought Hack:

• 1 package Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
• 12 Peanut Butter Cups
• 1 box Chocolate Brownie Mix (prepared as directed)

How to Make Slutty Brownies with Store-Bought Dough and Brownie Mix:

1. Spray an 8×8 pan with nonstick spray. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Press the chocolate chip cookie dough into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes in preheated oven.
3. Allow the pan to cool for 5 minutes.
4. Top baked cookie dough with peanut butter cups.
5. Add half the brownie batter, and bake for an additional 20 minutes. (Remaining batter can be used for another pan of brownies).
