Reese's Brownie Cookies

I have no idea how this could possible happen.  It’s honestly unthinkable.

Easter has come and gone and I didn’t have one Reese’s egg.  And now they’re gone.

Noooooooooooooooooo.

 I’ve shared my love of chocolate and peanut butter many times here.  The fixation started with Peanut Butter Blossoms.  It infatuation grew with Reese’s Cupcakes. And it went to all-out obsession with Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Blondies. And then there were the Pretzel-Peanut Butter Truffles. Oh, and the Chocolate-Peanut Butter Whoopie Pies.  Yeah- I kinda like chocolate and peanut butter..... 

 So you can image how big of a deal Reese’s Eggs are for me.  I’ll hide a body for you for one of those delicious, delicious eggs.  Not kidding.  I live close to water. I got this covered.

 In the midst of my tears and temper tantrum in the grocery store over the lack of eggs, I did find these little gems.  Bite-sized Reese’s.  Just begging to be thrown into a cookie. I can’t deny a begging peanut butter cup.
