Makes 1 8x8 - inch square pan
Prep Time 45 minutes to 1 hour
Baking Time 30 to 35 minutes

You will need:

• 1 1/2 cups (190 grams) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup (60 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (112 grams) unsalted butter
• 1 1/4 cups and 2 tablespoons (275 grams) brown sugar
• 2/3 cup (180 grams) creamy peanut butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 (42-grams) pack chilled Reese's peanut butter cups, diced into 16 pieces and refrigerated until ready to use 

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease the pan. Prepare a pipping bag with a 1/4 inch hole; set aside.
2. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and brown sugar in 3 minutes. Add peanut butter and continue to beat for another 5 minutes. Use a  spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and beaters; mix well. Transfer 80 grams of this mixture to the prepared piping bag and set aside.
4. Add eggs one at a time to the remaining peanut butter mixture, beating 30 seconds on medium speed after each addition. Add vanilla extract.
5. Lower  mixer speed to the lowest setting. Add the dry ingredients in three additions. Mix just until no dry streaks remain, but avoid over beating the mixture.
6. Pour butter into the pan. Smoothen the surface with a rubber spatula.
7. Pipe the reserved peanut butter mixture on top, making a continuous "U" shape winding up and down from left to right, including corners and edges to ensure even distribution. Evenly distribute the diced peanut butter cups on top.
8. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or just until the center is set but still moist. Test by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, the brownies are easy.
9. Let cool for about 20 minutes before cutting into squares.

TIP : Baking is an exact science, so you'll get the best result if you use a scale.
