Thanks to everyone who joined in Monday for this week’s #yearofkindness challenge {delivering valentines to a nursing home} and those who were with us last week for my fave romantic movies and easy, inexpensive homemade Valentines ideas. Today we’re continuing “Valentine’s Week” with a delicious recipe that you can make for your sweetie, friends, coworkers, or even yourself!
Peanut butter and chocolate may be my all-time favorite dessert combo, so it’s no surprise I was inspired to combine peanut butter cups and dark chocolate brownie mix! I thought I was soooo clever for using my muffin tin to make these cute little brownie cups, but one of my friends told me she and her mom have been making these babies for years. Maybe I’m a little late to the party, or maybe it’s just true that great minds think alike! 
Either way, these are de-li-cious and so easy to whip up. Enjoy!
peanut butter cup brownies
- 1 package brownie mix {i like the dark chocolate variety}
- 1 package mini peanut butter cups
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup water
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin pan with paper cups or spray with vegetable spray and set aside.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine brownie mix, egg, vegetable oil, and water. Stir until ingredients are well-mixed and there are no lumps in the batter.
3. Fill each muffin cup 3/4 of the way to the top with the batter.
4. In the center of each cup, gently press an unwrapped peanut butter cup.
5. Bake for 20-22 minutes, until a fork inserted in the center comes out clean.
YUM! These are dangerously good. You’ll want to eat the whole batch yourself!
What are some of your favorite Valentine’s Day memories? Are you planning to do any Valentine’s baking this year?
More tomorrow!
