Reese's Fudge Pies

here you go! step by step instructions to make mini reese's fudge pies. this recipe makes 4 small pies, and each pie can probably serve 2...unless you are really hungry..

The pie pan I used is from Sur La Table. You can use a regular pie pan instead but you may need to adjust the baking time. I would recommend making pie dough if you have the time, but the refrigerated kind will work.

Cut out the pie dough using the tool that comes with the pie pan. 

Pile in the peanut butter cups!

cover with brownie batter.. 

make the peanut butter topping by mixing the butter, brown sugar, vanilla, egg, peanut butter and chocolate. This keeps the brownie moist and gooey inside.

Bake...

add some chocolate ganache and more peanut butter cups...

whipped cream?
