Peanut Butter Brownie Cups

When I think of my favorite foods two things come to mind: chocolate and peanut butter.  And this recipe is near-divine because it combines the two!  AND it’s super easy.  ”I have company coming in an hour” easy.  These sorts of recipes are what I call “Brownie Boosters”…little extras you can add to boxed brownies for a quick, easy dessert with a little character.  Have I built them up enough for you?  Okay, good.  Drum-roll, please.

Ingredients

  • 1 box of Brownie Mix prepared (or homemade if you’re an overachiever)
  • 1 bag peanut butter chips
  • 1 bag chocolate chips
  • 1 cup or so of peanut butter

Directions

  1. Make a standard brownie receipe or if you want the shortcut, make a box brownie mix batter (don’t worry, this is what I ususally do…I won’t judge).
  2. Mix in 1/2 cup of peanut butter chips and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
  3. Pour mixture into 12 unlined, greased muffin cups.
  4. Bake 15-18 minutues at 350 degrees.
  5. Once you take the brownies out of the oven, heat 1/2 cup of peanut butter in the microwave until melted.  Using a pastry bag, inject a little bit of the melted peanut butter into the center of each brownie cup.  Sprinkle with a few more peanut butter and chocolate chips.
  6. Let cool completely before removing from cups.

And you’ll be left with these:
