Ingredients:

1 1/4 cup REESE Spreads peanut butter chocolate (this is the star of our brownie base!)
2 large eggs (room temperature is best for emulsification)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (sifted for a smoother texture)
1/2 teaspoon salt (enhances all the sweet flavors)
1/3 cup REESE Spreads peanut butter chocolate (for the luscious swirl and topping)
1 ripe banana, thinly sliced (adds a delightful fruity counterpoint)
4 fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced (for a pop of color and freshness)

Crafting the Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie Pizza Base

Mixing the Batter

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 10-inch pizza pan or a round cake pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. This ensures your brownie pizza will release cleanly after baking. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the 1 1/4 cups of REESE Spreads peanut butter chocolate with the 2 large eggs. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well-emulsified. It should look glossy and uniform, with no streaks of egg visible. This base is incredibly rich and delicious on its own, but we’re taking it to the next level.
Next, gently fold in the 1/2 cup of sifted all-purpose flour and the 1/2 teaspoon of salt. It’s important to fold rather than stir vigorously at this stage. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour too much, leading to a tougher brownie texture. We’re aiming for a fudgy, decadent brownie, so a gentle hand is key. Continue folding until just combined, making sure there are no dry pockets of flour. The batter will be quite thick and fudgy, which is exactly what we want for our brownie pizza.

Assembling and Baking the Brownie Pizza

Creating the Pizza and Baking

Pour the thick brownie batter into your prepared pizza pan. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the batter evenly to the edges of the pan, creating a nice, flat surface for our toppings. Think of this as your brownie canvas! Now, take the remaining 1/3 cup of REESE Spreads peanut butter chocolate and gently dollop it over the surface of the brownie batter. You can either spread it lightly to create a marbled effect or leave it in distinct dollops. For an extra special touch, you can even use a knife or a skewer to swirl the extra peanut butter chocolate into the brownie batter, creating beautiful patterns.
Carefully place the pizza pan into your preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crum extractbs attached, but not wet batter. Be careful not to overbake, as this will result in a dry brownie. The edges should look set and slightly pull away from the sides of the pan. The aroma filling your kitchen at this point will be absolutely divine – a perfect blend of chocolate and peanut butter!
Once baked, remove the brownie pizza from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes. This cooling period is crucial for the brownie to set properly, making it easier to slice and top. While it’s still warm but not hot, artfully arrange the thinly sliced banana and strawberry pieces over the surface of the brownie pizza. Distribute them evenly for a balanced bite with every slice. The warmth of the brownie will slightly soften the fruit, enhancing its natural sweetness.
