Note
For best results, ensure the butter is fully melted but not hot when mixing to prevent cooking the eggs.
Do not overbake; brownies should remain fudgy. If the top is set but the center is jiggly, they are done.
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
You can swap Reese's chips for standard peanut butter chips or chopped peanut butter cups.
