Baked up a batch early this morning (aroma of them bakin' woke my husband). Batch yielded 3-1/2 dozen. I used mini muffin pan; they turned out perfectly. Thank you for sharing recipe!!

This is so easy, and yet so delicious! I have made them 3 times now. The first time in regular muffin cups, but being a regular cupcake size I felt it was a bit too much for one snack. So I decided to make them in mini-muffins using the new mini peanut butter cups from Reeses. I cooked them at the same temp, just cooked them for 10-13mins until they looked done.

Oh my! What a difference! They are a lot more time consuming, but they are just perfect little bites of brownie goodness! The first time in mini-muffin cups I just tried to grease the pan and not use liners.. not such a good idea, they still stuck like crazy but everyone ate them anyways! The ones I just made today, I used mini-muffin liners and they are so much better! I think next time I may still spritz the liners with cooking spray just to make it even easier to peel and eat them!

These things are fantastic and so so simple.

I made this to take to a church function and they were gone in no time. They are so easy to make and are really good. I love chocolate and peanut butter together.

I made these last year for the staff at school - with several requests for the recipe. They were all amazed at how easy it was. I substituted white chocolate peanut butter cups for the regular ones - the contrast in colors was beautiful!

This is a very easy recipe and everyone loves it. I only did 1 thing different that was I didn't bake the peanut butter cups with the brownies. I bakes the brownies and then pressed p butter cup in after taking out of oven and leaving cool
