Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 c sugar
1/4 c butter, softened
1 Tbsp water
3/4 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 c all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 c milk chocolate chips

1/3 c semi-sweet chocolate chips (for topping)
3/4 c peanut butter, creamy

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350*F. Grease 12 standard muffin cups. Set aside.

  • 3. Stir in egg and vanilla. Add flour and baking soda; stir until blended. Allow to cool to room temperature (won't take long. You don't want the next chips to melt).
  • 4. Stir in 1/2 cup each of the milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin cups.
  • 5. Bake for 14 - 15 minutes or until tops are set but a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out still slightly wet. Place pan on cooling rack. The centers will fall upon cooling.
  • 6. Place peanut butter in a small microwave safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for about 45 seconds. Spoon 1 Tablespoon into the center of each brownie. Use all the peanut butter.
  • 7. Top each brownie with 2 or 3 of each milk and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Cool completely. Remove from pan.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality peanut butter cups for the best flavor. Look for cups that are made with real peanut butter and chocolate.
  • If you don't have a brownie mix, you can make your own from scratch. There are many recipes available online.
  • Be sure to grease and flour your baking pan before pouring in the brownie batter. This will help prevent the brownies from sticking.
  • Bake the brownies according to the directions on the brownie mix box or recipe. Do not overbake, or the brownies will be dry.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help them hold their shape.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
