Ingredients:

1 1/4 cup REESE Spreads peanut butter chocolate (this is the creamy, spreadable kind, not the candy bars)
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/3 cup REESE Spreads peanut butter chocolate (for topping)
1 ripe banana, thinly sliced
4 fresh strawberries, thinly sliced

Preparing the Brownie Base

Mixing the Dough

Let’s get started with the foundation of our delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie Pizza. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, we’ll combine the main components of our brownie base. First, add the 1 1/4 cups of REESE Spreads peanut butter chocolate. This is the star ingredient and will give our brownie pizza its incredible flavor and fudgy texture. Make sure it’s at a consistency that’s easy to stir – if it’s a bit stiff from being in the fridge, you can microwave it for about 15-20 seconds, just until it’s pliable. Next, crack in the 2 large eggs. It’s best if your eggs are at room temperature, as they incorporate more smoothly into the mixture. Whisk these together thoroughly until they are well combined and the mixture looks glossy and cohesive. Don’t be afraid to put a little elbow grease into this step; a good whisking will help create a lovely texture.

Incorporating Dry Ingredients

Now, it’s time to add the dry ingredients to our wet mixture. First, carefully measure out the 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour. Sifting the flour can help prevent lumps, but it’s not strictly necessary for this recipe. Add the flour to the bowl with the peanut butter chocolate mixture. Following that, add the 1/2 teaspoon of fine sea salt. The salt is crucial for balancing the sweetness of the peanut butter and chocolate, enhancing all the other flavors. Gently fold the flour and salt into the peanut butter chocolate egg mixture. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon for this, mixing just until you no longer see any streaks of dry flour. Overmixing at this stage can lead to a tougher brownie base, so be gentle and stop as soon as everything is incorporated. The batter will be thick and fudgy, which is exactly what we want for a brownie base.

Baking the Brownie Pizza

Preheating and Preparing the Pan

Before we bake our masterpiece, we need to prepare our oven and our baking vessel. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). This consistent temperature is key for even baking and a perfect chewy-on-the-inside, slightly crisp-on-the-edges brownie. For our pizza base, we’ll be using a round baking pan, ideally an 8-inch or 9-inch cake pan or a pizza pan. To prevent any sticking and ensure easy removal, generously grease the pan with butter or cooking spray. You can also line the bottom of the pan with a circle of parchment paper for extra security. This makes the whole process much cleaner and ensures your brownie pizza comes out in one beautiful piece.

Baking the Base

Once your oven is preheated and your pan is prepped, it’s time to bake the brownie base. Carefully spoon the thick brownie batter into the prepared pan. Use your spatula to spread the batter evenly across the bottom of the pan, creating a circular shape that resembles a pizza crust. Aim for a relatively even thickness so that it bakes uniformly. Place the pan in the center rack of your preheated oven. We’re going to bake this for approximately 20-25 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the edges start to look set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crum extractbs attached, rather than wet batter. Be careful not to overbake, as this will result in a dry brownie. The goal is a fudgy, delicious center.

Assembling the Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie Pizza

Adding the Toppings

As soon as your brownie base is out of the oven, it’s time to get creative with the toppings while it’s still warm. This is where the fun really begin extracts! Take the remaining 1/3 cup of REESE Spreads peanut butter chocolate. You can warm this slightly in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make it more spreadable. Dollop spoonfuls of this luscious topping over the warm brownie base. Use your spatula or the back of a spoon to gently spread it all over the surface, creating a decadent layer of extra peanut butter chocolate goodness. Don’t worry about making it perfectly uniform; a slightly rustic spread adds to the charm.

Garnishing with Fruit

Now for the beautiful and refreshing final touches! Arrange the thinly sliced 1 ripe banana over the peanut butter chocolate topping. Try to distribute the banana slices evenly across the surface. Next, artfully place the thinly sliced strawberries amongst the banana slices. The vibrant red of the strawberries adds a wonderful pop of color and a burst of fresh, slightly tart flavor that beautifully complements the rich chocolate and peanut butter. The combination of the warm, fudgy brownie base, the creamy peanut butter chocolate topping, and the fresh fruit creates an irresistible dessert. Allow the brownie pizza to cool slightly before slicing and serving for the best texture and flavor experience.
