Reviews
I made them following the recipe exactly, they were amazing. My friend who doesn't eat sweets fell in love with them. Now I'm making my second batch for a neighbor.
Easy and delicious, my husband shared these with some of his co workers needless to say they were gone in an instant, everyone loved them. I liked this recipe as I had everything on hand to make them. No special grocery store trips!
These cupcakes are really good. The peanut butter filling is creamy, while the brownie is moist. I made one change to the recipe using my homemade brownie batter instead of the packaged brownie mix. I had extra batter so I just baked it in a separate pan making actual brownies.
A definite keeper! I made two batches of these for two separate functions at school. They were a hit. Another reviewer mentioned they had made a mini version. That's what I did and they were amazing. Very rich so a mini version is perfect. Keep an eye on the baking time if you make the minis. I put 1/2 - 1 tsp of brownie batter in the mini cup, topped with 1/4 tsp of peanut butter mixture then 1/2 - 1 tsp brownie batter on top. Some peanut butter came through but it just made for an interesting look. When I made minis I got 48. Perfect for a crowd! This Volunteer Field Editor highly recommends this recipe.
These look amazing and I was all in until I got to the cream cheese ingredient. Was wondering if I could sub the cream cheese filling for a mixture of peanut butter and powdered sugar. Any thoughts?
Even when I made a mistake these were great! The first time I made these I forgot to add the sugar to the cream cheese mix. No one could tell! I now make them the correct way. When I make them I use a full/family size brownie box and double the cream cheese filling. The end result is a total of 30 cupcakes. This is the kind of recipe that the most difficult part is waiting for them to cool
My diet-conscious son ate two!
Delicious! & I love that you are from Chambersburg!(where I was born & my grandparents live)
Everytime (which has been many) I make these delicious cupcakes I am asked for the incredible recipe.
Pretty awesome. I made in little mini muffin tins and they were super good.
