Brownies & A Chocolate Bar

Last night we celebrated my momma's b-day.   A night of sushi take-out, a sweet dessert and movie snacks made it a perfect night.
Since my mom was the birthday girl, I made a special treat that I knew would appeal especially to her.  Reese Peanut Butter Cup stuffed brownies.  I can feel my pants getting tighter just thinking about these...
There is no question that my mom's favourite chocolate bar is the pb cup, and really can you blame her? They are best frozen, which also means there is no safe place to hide them.  Oh the delimma.  I knew I wanted to incorporate the pb cup into her birthday treat, so I decided to pair it up with my favourite brownie recipe and call it a day.
These were delicious.  HBD Mom!  Love ya!!
