I should probably stay off Pinterest because it makes me want to try new things, lol! I am never a baker or a sewer a seamstress but… hey I want to try and I am usually successful when I try new things, lol! I guess its not a bad thing but now I see things I want on Pinterest and I have to have them. LIKE… shoes! I saw a pair of shoes on there and stalked the internet until they became available to purchase again and voila…I bought them the other night…but I digress! Back to the brownies…I had to try to make these because…well, lets face it…who does not like chocolate? (well I know a few people who dont…but they ARE not reading this post) Well…the husband had one when he came in from work and he was like, “yeah I will be eating the rest of those!” lol so…I got his approval.

I just used a regular sized muffin tin but you can use whatever you like…my way only made 12 brownies.
Peanut Butter Cup Brownies
Recipe adapted from Nestle’s Very Best Baking

Makes 40 brownies as adapted

1 box of your favorite brownie mix
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or grease 40 mini-muffin cups.

Prepare boxed brownie mix as directed. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups (about 1 heaping teaspoon). Bake for 13-15 minutes or until top is set and a toothpick inserted into center comes out slightly wet. After brownies are out of the oven, wait for centers to fall. This will happen upon cooling. If not then tap the centers with the back of a teaspoon to make a hole for the peanut butter.

Place peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 45 seconds then stir. While brownies are still warm spoon about half a teaspoon of peanut butter into the center of each brownie. Top with semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. Cool completely in pan.
