How To Make peanut butter cup brownie cupcakes
-
Step 1Pre-heat oven to 325 F Place liners in cupcake pan
-
Step 2On 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.
-
Step 3In a mixing bowl, melt the cocoa and butter together. (This takes about a minute in my microwave)
-
Step 4Stir in sugar, flour, salt, vanilla extract and eggs, 2 at a time into chocolate mix.
-
Step 5Fill 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.
-
Step 6Once you have done this, with the remaining batter, fill the liners the rest of the way. The peanut butter balls should be completely covered.
-
Step 7Place in oven and bake for about 35 minutes at 325 F. Adjust time as necessary.
-
Step 8Once done, place on cooling rack.

Step 9Enjoy with family and friends!!
