Short Description

Fudgy, chocolatey brownies with a gooey peanut butter center—these Stuffed Peanut Butter Brownies are an indulgent treat that’s as easy to make as it is delicious to eat.

Ingredients

For the brownie layer:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

For the peanut butter filling:

  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Tools Needed

  • 9×13 inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Parchment paper (optional, for easy removal)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the Brownie Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla. In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until combined. Set aside.

Step 3: Make the Peanut Butter Filling
In a separate bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Layer the Brownies
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth out. Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture over the batter and gently spread it into an even layer. Top with the remaining brownie batter and spread to cover.

Step 5: Bake
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.

Step 6: Cool & Slice
Let the brownies cool completely before slicing. This helps the peanut butter layer set nicely inside.

Key Ingredients

  • 1 package (14 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Tools Needed

  • 9×13-inch baking dish
  • Food processor or zip-top bag (for crushing cookies)
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Mixing bowls
  • Spoon or spatula

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust
In a food processor or using a zip-top bag and rolling pin, crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and mix with the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form a firm crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the other layers.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Layer
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping until fully incorporated. Spread this cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled cookie crust.

Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Pudding Layer
In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and 3 cups of milk. Beat for about 2 minutes, until the pudding thickens. Spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.

Step 4: Add the Final Topping Layer
Spread the remaining whipped topping (about 1 1/2 cups) over the chocolate pudding layer, smoothing it out with a spatula. This will create a fluffy, creamy top layer for your dessert.

Step 5: Garnish and Chill
If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips or shaved chocolate over the top for an extra chocolatey touch. Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together.

Can I make this dessert ahead of time?
Yes, this dessert actually tastes better after being refrigerated for a few hours or overnight, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Can I use a different type of cookie for the crust?
Yes! While chocolate sandwich cookies are traditional, you can use any cookie that complements chocolate, like graham crackers or vanilla wafer cookies.

The combination of the crunchy cookie crust, smooth cream cheese layer, rich chocolate pudding, and fluffy whipped topping makes for a dessert that’s not only delicious but also fun to make.
