For the brownies:
- ½ cup (118ml) vegetable oil
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup (54g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) water
- ½ cup (62g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips
For the ice cream:
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons (34g) peanut butter
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups whipped topping or fresh whipped cream
- ¾ cup peanut butter cups chopped (about 12 miniature Reese’s)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8 or 9×9 pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Stir oil, sugar, cocoa, eggs, vanilla, and water until smooth. Stir in flour, then stir in chocolate chips. Spread in prepared pan and bake for 23-26 minutes until they just start to loose their glossy sheen. (I like mine a little under done.) Cool completely before continuing.
- Stir together sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter, vanilla, and whipped topping. Stir in peanut butter cups.
- Use foil to carefully remove the entire sheet of brownies from the pan. Line the same pan with plastic wrap, making sure that the plastic overhangs the edges and that the plastic comes up the sides of the pan all the way.
