E T Brownies
"Remember E.T.? He loved Reese's Pieces. Most kids love these brownies. "Big" kids too! I got this recipe from The Toronto Star newspaper back when the movie came out and I still make them. (My family likes peanut butter.)"

A delicious recipe, just a little less fudgy than I would have liked. These make cakey brownies, which are delicious with their candy (I used M & M's instead of Reese's Pieces) and chocolate chips. I added a basic chocolate buttercream frosting once these were sufficiently cooled. One thing - all of my M&M's sunk to the bottom of the brownies! :) I'll have to experiment to see how to remedy this problem. All in all, a delicious treat! -
I never knew E.T. loved reese's piece's, but after these brownie's I can see why. It's a good thing they make a 13x9 because they go real quick!!!

Mmmmmmm! I melted the choc & butter in the (900W) micro. for 2 min 30 sec on 70%, stopping to stir twice. I used M&Ms instead of choc. chips and used unsweetened Ghirardelli choc so they are rich and extremely good! Baked for 35 min. Thanks so much for the recipe Lennie!! :) -
I should have paid attention to HeatherFeather - mine were done early as well. I didn't find that the Reese's pieces sank, but I did accidentally melt the coating off (my chocolate wasn't quite cool enough). I liked the peanut butter flavor - and the chocolate chips. -
that picture has my mouth watering!
