Brownie Peanut Butter Cups

Saw this on Hostess with the Mostess:


Here is the recipe from Bake or Break:

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray or grease 12 muffin cups.

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine sugar, butter, and water. Microwave on high for 1 minute or until butter is melted. Stir in 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted. Stir in egg and vanilla extract. Add flour and baking soda, stirring until blended. Allow to cool to room temperature. Then, stir in 1/2 cup each peanut butter chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Spoon batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into muffin cups.

Bake for 13-15 minutes or until top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out slightly wet. Place pan on wire rack. Centers of brownies will fall upon cooling. If not, tap centers with the back of a teaspoon to make a hole.

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


Bake or Break was immediately added to the list of baking blogs I read, and these brownies were added to the list of things that are going to cause me to gain weight this summer.

I hate you. Usually I hate you for posting really cute ideas I'll never find the time to do, but love to oogle over anyway. But today I hate you because I am pregnant and now I REALLY REALLY want some of those!

I just fainted, came to, read the recipe, and fainted again. My three favorite foods! Brownies, peanut butter and more chocolate!

I would marry it if I could.

I made these last night, Oh Wow!!! So yummy. I made 1 batch in the suggested muffin tins, but they required a plate and fork. So I made a second batch in mini muffin tins with paper liners- perfect for the bbq we are going to tonight!

Wow, those look rich. Wow.
