I found this recipe to be great! There was just enough chocolate and peanut butter taste. They were sweet, but not overly sweet. I did cut out 1/4 cup of the regular sugar though. I also used 1/2 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips instead of 3 ounces of unsweetened. 3 ounces is about equivalent to 1/2 cup. They were great, the peanut butter did sink to the bottom some but that didn't affect the taste!

I agree that it's hard to get the filling and batter proportioned, but I've still made these several times. They're fun and tasty for adults and kids alike.

What a treat! I served them to my 5th grade students and they loved them! And so easy to serve in muffin liners.

I have made these a few times and they are very good. I have had several recipe requests for them.

They are a bit tiresome to make though. It takes quite a while to get the batter and filling portioned evenly, but it's worth the effort.

They're nice to take to potlucks & picnics because you don't have to deal with messy frosting.

I made these brownie cups for the girls at Carolina Wildlife Care and they liked them a lot. I love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter.
