Here is a recipe from Nestle that I am sure has been around a while…Peanut Butter Brownie Cups
Well, I just found it and it will now be on my “go-to” list. On the original recipe Nestle has made them with their Swirled PB/chocolate chips, which are cute, but I’m not a fan. I saw an adaptation on the site Bake or Break and used that, changing just a few things. The on-going theme of chocolate and peanut butter seems to have no limits (luckily) and these are an easy, delicious take on the basics!
Ingredients:- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips separated as follows: 3/4 cup (to melt), 1/2 cup (to stir in) and 1/2 cup reserved for garnish
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup peanut butter chips (I used Reese’s PB chips) separated as follows: 1/2 cup to stir in and 1/2 cup reserved for garnish
Preheat oven to 350
Grease 12 cup muffin pan
Add 3/4 cup semi-sweet chips; stir until melted.
Add egg and vanilla extract and stir well. Add flour and baking soda and stir until blended. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Stir in 1/2 cup each of PB chips and semi-sweet chips. Spoon a heaping tablespoon batter into each prepared muffin cup.
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until top is set and wooden pick inserted center comes out still slightly wet.
Place muffin pan on wire rack.
Centers of brownies will fall upon cooling. If some do not, with back of teaspoon, tap center to make a hole.
Place peanut butter in small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 45 seconds; stir. While brownies are still hot, spoon a scant tablespoon peanut butter into center of each brownie. After brownies have cooled for approx 10 min. top with reserved 1/2 c. PB chips and 1/2 c. semi-sweet chips.
Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
Loosen around edges of brownies with a knife and carefully remove from pan.
Hi! I’m Shelly and I’m an addict. Of the buttercream sort. I started this site a few years ago as a way to justify my sugary, buttery obsession with desserts. It has worked out well for me so far, because as it turns out you guys all love sugary, buttery desserts too! It feels good to know you are not alone, doesn’t it? 
Mmmm I must try these (with sun butter, of course).
oh eating one of these must be heaven
These look decadent.
I like your adaption…looks good.
