Peanut Butter Cup Brownies! Pull out your favorite boxed mix brownies and make this delicious, peanut buttery, chocolate treat in no time!
When you think of love, what do you think of? Hearts? Candy? Kisses? Or if you’re like me…CHOCOLATE!
I love, love, LOVE chocolate.
As a matter of fact, I told my husband today that I loved him MORE THAN chocolate. And, he took it as a compliment because he knows just how much I love the dark, creamy, sweet stuff.
And these Peanut Butter Cup Brownies rank right up there with my all-time favorite desserts!
Peanut Butter Cup Brownies
I love chocolate so much that my mom told me that as a baby I wouldn’t drink white milk so she added a little…you guessed it…Hershey’s Syrup to my bottle! haha! I have no idea why I have this addiction, er…I mean, love of chocolate!
So, when looking at my favorite inspiration site, Pinterest, when deciding what to make for dessert for dinner with friends last week, I knew that I had to make these yummy Peanut Butter Cup Brownies I’ve been eyeing lately.
And, I’ve got to tell ya…they were worth every. single. calorie.
To make these Peanut Butter Cup Brownies, these are my absolute favorite tools!!
>Good Quality Muffin Pan – if you try to use a cheaply made muffin pan, I PROMISE these Peanut Butter Cup Brownies will NOT turn out. Do yourself a favor and buy one!! The Wilton one below is my favorite!
>Small Muffin Scoop – I know you think you don’t need this – but you really do! This little handy, dandy tool is amazing! It perfectly scoops out the perfect amount for the mini muffin tins and does so with no mess! You can also use it for cookies!
>Non-Stick Spray – OH MY! This is THE BEST STUFF EVER. Nothing will stick when you use it! Use it on these muffins, cake pans, and more!!

The recipe I found called for you to make your own homemade brownie mix for these, but I used my favorite go-to boxed brownie mix
instead.
I’ve found I get much more compliments on using a box mix than when I make the best homemade recipe I have.
So, run to the pantry and pull out your favorite brownie mix
, peanut butter
, chocolate
and peanut butter chips
and get started.
These are soooooo worth it!
Peanut Butter Cup Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 box of your favorite boxed brownie mix
- 1/4 cup of peanut butter
- semi-sweet chocolate chips
- peanut butter morsal chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Grease a 12 cup cupcake pan or a mini muffin tin if you prefer bite size
- Prepare brownies as directed on box
- Spoon the brownie mix evenly into tin. I use an ice cream scoop or mini scoop for even amounts.
- Bake as directed for about 20 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few crumbs.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes and then use the back of a spoon to create an indentation in the center of the brownies.
- Melt peanut butter in the microwave for 30 secs and stir until smooth.
- Spoon a small amount into each indentation.
- Top with both chocolate and peanut butter chips.
- Cool in pan and then remove to a wire rack to harden up.
- Keep in a sealed container unless you eat them right away...which you will!!

Do you use regular size muffin tin, or mini muffins?

I use both! Whichever you prefer!
Bonnie Budura says
When using mini muffin pan, how long do you bake brownie mix? I thought the mini size would be great for a church social. TY!
Kasey says
I would say about 10-12 minutes. Check to see if a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If it doesn’t, bake a few minutes longer. Good luck!
