Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Cupcakes image

My mother's favorite candies are peanut butter cups, so I decided to make a special brownie just for her. These yummy treats look like regular cupcakes but as soon as you take that first bite, you are in for a creamy surprise!

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 tablespoon(s) cocoa powder
8 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter
2 cup(s) sugar
1 cup(s) flour
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
4 - eggs
- peanut butter, creamy or crunchy

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 325 F Place liners in cupcake pan
  • On a movable surface like a cutting board, wax paper, etc., sprinkle some flour. With a teaspoon, scoop up a heaping portion of peanut butter and roll it around in the flour. Make 12 of these. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, melt the cocoa and butter together. (This takes about a minute in my microwave)
  • Stir in sugar, flour, salt, vanilla extract and eggs, 2 at a time into chocolate mix.
  • Fill each cupcake liner about 3/4 of the way full. As you fill each one, place a peanut butter ball in the center. DO NOT push the ball into batter. Simply place in center.
  • Once you have done this, with the remaining batter, fill the liners the rest of the way. The peanut butter balls should be completely covered.
  • Place in oven and bake for about 35 minutes at 325 F. Adjust time as necessary.
  • Once done, place on cooling rack.
  • Enjoy with family and friends!!
