  6. Pour the batter to the lined tin. With the remaining peanut butter, chopped Reese’s Pieces cups and Reese’s Pieces minis, swirl through and dot on top evenly and to make a rippling effect if you can.
  7. Bake until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out with a few moist crumbs, approx. 30-35 minutes.
