Peanut Butter Stuffed Chocolate Brownies with a chocolate caramel bunny melted on top, what’s not to love? These Caramel Bunny Peanut Butter Brownies are the perfect addition to any Easter dessert spread!
This post and recipe was created for #EasterSweetsWeek. I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.
Oh Brownies! Brownies are pretty great on their own but they’re even better when they have a generous layer of peanut butter stuffed into the middle of each bite!
Not only are these Caramel Bunny Peanut Butter Brownies stuffed with a nice peanut butter layer but they’re also topped with mini chocolate caramel bunnies.
Sweet heavens! Does it get any better than that?
Until a couple of years ago I was loyal to boxed brownie mix and that was all I ever made. I still love using a fudgy brownie mix when I make quick, fun brownies like my Melted Witch Brownies or my Spooky Eyeball Fudge Brownies but sometimes I need the brownie flavor to really shine and that’s when I turn to homemade brownie recipe like the one I used for these Caramel Bunny Peanut Butter Brownies.
Now the recipe I used for these Caramel Bunny Peanut Butter Brownies is amazing without the peanut butter layer in middle, but they’re extra delicious with it added in. When you make this brownie recipe with the peanut butter layer in them, every bite taste like a fancy chocolate and peanut butter truffle! Oh it’s perfection!
Oh and those little chocolate caramel bunnies on top of the brownie? I made those and I have a tutorial on the blog for them BUT if you don’t want to make your own just pick up a little pack of chocolate bunnies at the store!

My favorite dessert for Easter and every other holiday is chocolate cream pie with lots of whip cream on top of it.
Favorite Easter Dessert was always Grandma’s Fresh Strawberry Cake – full of fresh strawberries, easy to make, and you can carry it around on your hips forever!
Chocolate Easter bunnies are my favorite dessert.
My favorite Easter dessert is my Mema’s Carrot Cake and my Mama’s Fresh Strawberry Pie! Yum! These brownies look mighty delicious too!
It’s the same favorite for any holiday or meal…Cheesecake!!!!

I love all desserts, hard to pick a favorite.
So hard to choose a favorite, but, if I have to choose it would be my grandmother’s coconut cake. OMG, it was so good!
Anything with lemon.
The brownies look awesome. Will definitely try them. My favorite dessert is one from childhood, applesauce cake, which I have never been able to duplicate.
The best part of Easter is the deviled eggs.
Goodness, those brownies look so good! I would have to say my favorite Easter dessert ever is my Nana’s coconut cake. She sadly passed away in 2016 so I miss hers, specifically, so much!
My favorite Easter dessert is cheesecake but I am drooling looking at your brownies so I may have found a new favorite!
My favorite Easter desert is a Coconut Cake with egg white icing. I alway make mine in a shape of a bunny.
My favorite dessert is coconut cake.
I love all of the goodies you post but this one steals the show…Yummy!!!
My favorite Easter Dessert is Bunny Cake…..The Face, ears and bow tie. It has been a family tradition, for 58 years! This year is a Bunny Cake with banana cake , buttermilk glaze on the layers and a buttercream frosting!
YUMMMM – I was already in love with these brownies just from the top view, but the cross-section had me swooning. Lol! I absolutely must try this recipe. As to what my favorite Easter Dessert is – I love lemon and almond themed desserts, as they’re so spring-y to me! I have a recipe for thick lemon bars that use a generous amount of almond extract in the shortbread crust – love making those when there are a lot of people over for Easter!
Oooo those lemon bars sounds amazing with that shortbread crust! My husband loves shortbread cookies, so I bet he’d be crazy about those bars! Also, YAY! haha I’m so glad you like the brownies! I hope you get to give them a try soon!
Oh my gosh, girlie. These are so decadently sinful — just the way I like my desserts. 😉
