Ingredients You’ll Need

Because this recipe starts with a boxed brownie mix, you get that perfect fudgy base every time without the fuss. Then, the peanut butter and chocolate ganache makes it decadently creamy, while the Reese’s toppings add bursts of flavor and fun textures.

Brownie Mix: I like using my favorite brand that yields a fudgy texture, but any reliable mix works great here.
Eggs: Follow the box recipe — usually two eggs — for the perfect brownie consistency.
Vegetable Oil: This keeps the brownie moist without overpowering the flavor.
Water: Helps thin out the batter so it spreads nicely in the pan.
Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips: Choose good quality for a smooth ganache finish.
Creamy Peanut Butter: Use a creamy kind so it melts easily into the ganache.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (regular and mini): These are the stars for topping; pick your favorites or mix sizes like I do.
Reese’s Pieces candies: These add a little crunch and colorful pop on top.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips: Perfect for sprinkling over the ganache for extra peanut buttery goodness.

Variations

I like to switch things up depending on my mood, and honestly, this Reese’s Brownie Pizza Recipe is perfect for that kind of creativity. Whether you want it more chocolatey, or you need a gluten-free option, there are ways to tweak this recipe without losing its soul.

Gluten-Free: I’ve used gluten-free brownie mixes with this recipe, and it turns out just as decadent—just double-check your toppings to keep it safe!
Extra Crunch: Try adding chopped peanuts or pretzels on top for a salty crunch that contrasts beautifully with the sweet ganache.
Nut-Free Version: Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter and skip Reese’s toppings for allergy-friendly but still delicious results.
Seasonal Twists: Around holidays, I swap Reese’s Pieces with seasonal colored candies, which makes this dessert festive and fun.

How to Make Reese’s Brownie Pizza Recipe

Step 1: Prepare Your Pan and Preheat the Oven

First things first — get your oven ready by preheating it to 350°F. I like to use a 10-inch tart pan because the removable bottom makes it easy to slide the brownie pizza onto a serving plate cleanly, but a 9-inch cake pan or even a pizza stone works fine too. Don’t forget to spray the pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking. This little prep step makes cleanup a breeze.

Step 2: Mix the Brownie Batter

Grab your brownie mix and follow the instructions on the box — usually mixing the brownie mix, eggs, oil, and water. When I first tried this recipe, I was surprised how simple the base is, but you get that perfect fudgy texture that stands up to all those toppings. Give it a good stir until smooth, then pour the batter evenly into your prepared pan.

Step 3: Bake to Perfection

Bake your batter for about 20-25 minutes. I always start checking at 20 minutes with a toothpick in the center — it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Overbaking dries the edges, and no one wants that with such a rich pizza! Once baked, transfer the pan to a cooling rack and let your brownie cool completely before moving on.

Step 4: Make the Peanut Butter Chocolate Ganache

This is where the magic happens. In a microwave-safe bowl, toss the chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter together. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth and melted—usually just about a minute or so. Then, pour this glossy mixture over your cooled brownie base and spread it out evenly. It’s rich, shiny, and just the right peanut butter-chocolate balance you’re craving.

Step 5: Top with All the Reese’s Goodness

Now for the fun part: decorating! Arrange the regular-sized Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups around the edge or scatter them artfully across the ganache. Sprinkle the mini cups, Reese’s Pieces, and peanut butter chips generously on top. I love how this creates a colorful and textured look that makes everyone’s eyes light up. Once topped, pop the pizza in the fridge until the ganache sets — about 30 minutes.

Pro Tips for Making Reese’s Brownie Pizza Recipe

Choose the Right Pan: I swear by a tart pan with a removable bottom—it makes slicing and serving so much easier and cleaner.
Don’t Overbake the Brownie: Keep a close eye on that toothpick test; fudgy is better than cakey here, trust me.
Smooth Ganache Magic: Stir continuously while microwaving chocolate and peanut butter for a glossy, lump-free ganache.
Cool Before Ganache: Let the brownie cool entirely before adding ganache to avoid melting and mixing layers.

The top is decorated with whole peanut butter cups and colorful candy-coated chocolates in orange, yellow, and brown scattered across the surface. There are also small dollops of peanut butter-colored cream placed evenly on top.

Garnishes

For serving, I sometimes add a drizzle of melted white chocolate or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before cutting. It adds a beautiful finish and balances the sweetness. Fresh berries on the side work surprisingly well too, offering a tangy contrast.

Side Dishes

This brownie pizza pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or even a dollop of whipped cream if you’re feeling decadent. I’ve also served it alongside fresh coffee or a cold glass of milk—both great for balancing all that rich peanut butter goodness.

Creative Ways to Present

For special occasions, I’ve served slices on colorful dessert plates with a dusting of powdered sugar or cocoa powder on the side. For parties, I arrange mini slices on a platter with toothpicks, making it easy for guests to grab and go—plus, it looks adorable!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

I keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, and they usually stay fresh and gooey for about 3-5 days. This is great because it means you can enjoy it over multiple sittings without losing any of that peanut butter-chocolate magic.

Freezing

I’ve frozen slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and placed them in a Ziplock bag. When properly stored, the Reese’s Brownie Pizza Recipe stays delicious for up to 2 months. Just thaw overnight in the fridge before serving, and you’re good to go.

Reheating

To warm up leftover slices, I pop them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. This brings back the gooey texture nicely without melting the toppings too much. You can also enjoy it cold straight from the fridge if you prefer that fudgy bite.

FAQs

Can I make this Reese’s Brownie Pizza Recipe from scratch instead of using boxed mix?

Absolutely! If you prefer homemade, use your favorite brownie recipe that yields a fudgy texture. Just keep in mind cooking times might vary slightly, so watch it carefully. The rest of the steps with ganache and toppings stay the same and work wonderfully.
What’s the best way to cut the brownie pizza without messing up the toppings?

I recommend chilling the brownie pizza in the fridge until the ganache is firm, then use a sharp, warm knife (run it under hot water and dry) to slice gently. This prevents the toppings and ganache from sticking to the knife and keeps your slices neat.
Can I use natural peanut butter instead of creamy?

Natural peanut butter tends to separate and may not melt into the ganache as smoothly as creamy peanut butter. For best results and a silky ganache, stick with creamy peanut butter.
Is it okay to skip some of the Reese’s toppings?

Definitely! This recipe is super flexible. You can add more or less of any topping based on what you like or have on hand. It will still taste amazing.
How do I store leftover Reese’s Brownie Pizza?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. For longer storage, wrap well and freeze for up to 2 months.
