I brought a meal to some neighbors back in June after he got home from the hospital. That meal included Hamburgers, Partytime Beans, Nutty Apple Salad, homemade bread and these Peanut Butter Brownie Cups. I also added some Luscious Lemon Muffins for breakfast. They were thrilled with the meal. And if you’ve ever brought someone home from the hospital, you know the last thing you want to do is to prepare a meal. So this meal hit the spot for them.
Peanut Butter Brownie Cups are made in muffin tins – a really novel idea, but they turn out so delightfully. These little brownies are terrific for tailgating parties, potlucks, backyard barbecues or even birthday parties. If you enjoy chocolate and peanut butter together, this is the perfect dessert for you. 🙂
Peanut Butter Brownie Cups are fabulous treats especially if you enjoy either chocolate or peanut butter!
Every bite will rock your world!
Serve these brownies for your next tailgating party and watch them disappear!

Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients..
Melt butter, 1 cup chocolate chips and cocoa over low heat in a medium-sized saucepan.
Stir until smooth.
Add granulated sugar.
Stir to combine.
Add eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition.
Whisk eggs into mixture.
Add salt and vanilla.
Whisk again to incorporate ingredients.
Add unbleached flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods).
Stir again to incorporate flour.
Add remaining chocolate chips and half of the peanut butter chips.
Stir to combine.
Spoon mixture into muffin tins that have been sprayed with cooking spray. Fill muffin tins about 3/4 to 7/8 full.
If desired, sprinkle extra peanut butter chips on top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Peanut Butter Brownie Cups have a delightful burst of peanut butter flavor!
Kids will enjoy these brownies at birthday parties!
Prepare to drool over these spectacular muffin cups!
