    Reese's Pieces are my favorite movie theater candy...well, along with Twizzlers, of course! I love all of the different variations of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, they have just perfected the flavor combination of peanut butter and chocolate that I love so much. Sometimes I cut up Reese's and swirl them into my cake batter, but this recipe? OH MY GOODNESS.

    Bake for 25-28 minutes, until the edges of the brownies are crisp and start to pull away from the pan and an inserted toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs and no wet batter.
