so, my boss is getting married this weekend... I thought it'd be a nice thing to bake him some ridiculously unhealthy dessert that his wife will never let him eat again.

I'm thinking brownies, because I don't really have the time for cookies (and I hate mixing the dough without a mix master), but I need to come up with something to add to them... I thought about reeses pieces, since my boss :hearts; peanut butter, but the crunchiness might detract from the moist goodness of the brownies. so now I'm thinking about possibly cutting up some reeses cups and throwing them into the mix.

make the brownies with peanut butter cups... the chocolate will get soft so the crunchiness won't detract from the brownie good newness...

IF you want a mix, Duncan Hines makes a "Candy Stand" series that i have had great sucess with!

edit: mosh beat me to it, but thats the one that i am talking about. It's awesome...

Incorrect sir, the wonderful splendor of Reese's Pieces will never distract from anything. Try chopped up Reese's Peanutbutter Cups instead if you're worried?

they just came out of the oven...

I went with chopped up reeses peanut butter cups in the brownie mix, with some reeses pieces sprinkled on the top.

they taste kinda like peanut butter crunch in chocolate milk, but chewy and delicious :thumbsup:

otoh, I think I'm about to go into a sugar coma after eating one. lol.
