Prepare the Batter
  1. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork, leaving a few small lumps. Whisk in the melted butter, peanut butter, and sugars until smooth and glossy.
  2. Add the eggs and vanilla, beating until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  3. Gently sprinkle the flour, baking soda, and salt over the wet mixture. Use a spatula to fold everything together. Stop just before the last streak of flour disappears.
  4. Stir in the chopped Reese's peanut butter cups and half of the Reese's Pieces.
Bake the Bread
  1. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  2. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

This bread actually tastes better on day two as the banana moisture settles. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. To freeze, wrap the loaf tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. It will stay fresh for up to 3 months. To reheat, suggest a quick 10-second zap in the microwave or a low toast in the oven until the Reese's Pieces just begin to glisten again.
