Marshmallow Reese's Brownies

Awhile back, I bought a bunch of brownie mixes.  They were on sale for a great deal.  And I knew I would find a recipe or two to use them for.

 

A few weeks ago I found one on Pinterest.  It looked so yummy.  I thought about it all the time.  When the weekend rolled around, all I wanted to do was make that recipe.  I was excited, brownie, peanut butter cups, and a little marshmallow cream it sounded perfect.

 

So, you can imagine my disappointment when I pulled them out and they looked like this...

 Yeah, they are NOT suppose to look like that.  All my marshmallow cream rose to the top during baking.  It wasn't how I had imagined them at all.  I have never used marshmallow cream before, but I didn't realize it was going to be difficult. :)

 

In the picture below you can kind of see the peanut butter cup sticking out just a little.  All of my peanut butter cups stuck to the bottom of the pan!  I sprayed my pan really well.  I don't know if they got overcooked or what?!



Taste wise, they were still pretty good.  But probably not as good as I was hoping for.  I may try making these again, but I don't know.  I just hate spending all that money on peanut butter cups to get stuck to the pan, when we can just eat them. hehe  I guess we will have to see.

 

If you have any luck with this recipe please share!!!
