What do you need to make these Touchdown Peanut Butter Cup Brownies?

You’ll need a box of brownie mix and the ingredients to make the “cake-like” brownies recipe. I prefer the Betty Crocker Fudge brownies that will make a 13 x 9 inch pan size.

You’ll also need 2 packages of Reese’s Football Peanut Butter Cups. They come in a package of 10, and this brownie mix makes exactly 12 brownie cups.

You can make your own buttercream frosting if you like, but I prefer to use Pillsbury’s Funfetti Green frosting and any brand of canned white frosting.

You’ll need a couple of pastry bags as well as a grass tip for making these grass frosting, and you’ll need a writing tip to pipe the white laces on the football.

How do you make Touchdown Football Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

First, preheat the oven and fill the muffin tins with cupcake liners.

Then, find the recipe on the box that will make the “cake-like” brownies. Usually, this recipe has more eggs, water, and oil than the normal recipe. I prefer the cake-like brownies because they are bigger and full in the cupcake liners.

Make the brownie batter and then fill each cupcake liner about 2/3rds to 3/4th full.

Bake for 20-22 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of a brownie.

Allow them to cool completely before adding any frosting.

Transfer the green frosting to a piping bag with the grass tip. Then, add little shots of grass around the entire top of the brownie cup. Do this for all the brownie cups.

Open the football peanut butter cups and lay them flat on a piece of wax paper.

Transfer the white frosting to a piping bag with the writing tip.

Pipe the laces of the football on each football peanut butter cup.

Take each football and push it down very gently at a diagonal in the center of each brownie cup.
