Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 box of your favorite boxed brownie mix

Peanut Butter Filling and Topping

  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • Semi-sweet chocolate chips, as needed for topping
  • Peanut butter morsel chips, as needed for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the brownies.
  2. Prepare Pan: Grease a 12-cup cupcake pan or a mini muffin tin if you prefer bite-sized brownies to ensure easy removal after baking.
  3. Mix Brownies: Prepare the brownie batter according to the instructions on the boxed mix.
  4. Fill Tin: Spoon the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan using an ice cream scoop or mini scoop for uniform portions.
  5. Bake: Bake the brownies for about 20 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few crumbs attached.
  6. Cool and Indent: Allow the brownies to cool for a few minutes, then use the back of a spoon to create a small indentation in the center of each brownie cup.
  7. Prepare Peanut Butter: Melt 1/4 cup of peanut butter in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir until smooth and easily spoonable.
  8. Fill Indentations: Spoon a small amount of the melted peanut butter into each indentation in the brownies.
  9. Add Toppings: Sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter morsel chips on top of each filled brownie.
  10. Final Cooling: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to harden up for best texture.
  11. Storage: Store the brownies in a sealed container to maintain freshness unless you choose to enjoy them immediately.

Notes

  • You can use a mini muffin tin for bite-sized brownies.
  • The peanut butter can be substituted with any creamy nut or seed butter if desired.
  • Make sure not to overbake; a few moist crumbs ensure fudgy brownies.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for several days.
  • For easier removal, let the brownies cool completely before taking them out of the pan.
