ULTIMATE REESE’S CHEESECAKE BROWNIES

Swirls of chocolate and peanut butter make these Ultimate Reese's Cheesecake Brownies absolutely irresistible. These brownies always disappear in a hurry at parties and events.

When the kids were younger they knew how much I loved Reese’s candies. Any time they got peanut butter cups from school, church, or parties they would bring them home and give them to me excitedly.
