Make the brownies as shown on the box (using 3 eggs). Fill the paper muffin cups 1/4 full and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Push the peanut butter cups down into the center of the half-baked brownie, leaving the top only showing; put back in the oven and bake 5 minutes. This recipe works everytime! Yields approx 30.

It seems there were a number of reviewers who experienced some problems with this which hopefully my suggestions will remedy. Prepare these as your brownie package directs, since they all differ slightly. Bake these in foil liners to eliminate the sticking issue. And only fill the cups half full, no more. You should get 24 brownies with a nice balance of brownie to peanut butter cup. Do not overbake! Just bake these till a toothpick comes out ALMOST clean (mine took just 18 minutes). These are fudgey, gooey, delightfully cute, just the right size and, for some reason I don't understand since this is, after all, a boxed mix, irresistably delicious. I agree with JENNIEMC1975's review.

I made a double batch of these exactly according to the recipe, and my coworkers are gobbling them up as we speak, tossing around raves like, "Best brownies I ever had," and "To die for." Deceptively easy, yet delicious!

I made the mini brownies. I put cupcake wrappers in, then put the unwrapped peanut butter cup in the bottom and put the brownie mixture on top. I made one batch like this and made another one with the brownie mix on the bottom and then the peanut butter cup. The PB cup first and then brownies came out WAY better and you really were surprised when you bit into it! Baked at 325 for 13 minutes.

I was very disappointed with this recipe -I'm not sure what I was expecting but I love brownies and I love peanut butter cups so I thought this was a fabulous idea. In the future I'll eat them separate. Good idea though.

I followed the recipe on the Brownie box and use regular size foil muffin tins. They turned out perfect and it made about 20. They were very big and rich so I actually cut several in half for serving so people didn't have to take a whole one. Yum!!!

I had terrible, aweful luck with this recipe. I followed it exactly. The darn brownie won't come out of the cupcake paper and the appearance of these things is aweful. I feel that I just wasted a lot of money on ingredients. If you want to stick a peanut butter cup into something fantastic, try the Peanut Butter Cup Cookies recipe from this site.

These are good for a chocolate and peanut butter fix. My family thought five stars, but I couldn't get past the box brownie taste, since I make some from scratch that are so much tastier. Since I did have a box of mix left, this was a good way to use it up!

This recipe was great! I did change one thing though. It says to add the reeses at the top, I put it in the middle of the "cupcake." Definitely a good idea! My sister is a Reeses fanatic, so i figured she would enjoy these, and did she! Half of them are gone already! My only complaint is they dont stay good for too long, so make only if you know people will eat them up in a day or two!

Very Good!! There is a recipe on the Jif website called "peanut butter brownie cookies" that are awesome too. I think this recipe is cheaper because it doesn't have peanut butter cups in it.

Love these! Easy to make but I did change the recipe a bit. I basically just followed the directions on the box of brownie mix. Then I filled mini muffin cups halfway, put a peanut butter cup in the middle and baked at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. They turned out perfect - the cupcake wrapper came off easily and they tasted delicious.

They tasted great but I did not get a dozen and a half out of it... The batter ran out at a dozen... and it was REALLY thick. I did not even fill the cups 3/4 full like the recipes calls for. Oh well...they are still really tasty.

I followed the recipe exactly and even undercooked them by a few minutes but they turned out hard and stuck to the cupcake paper. I would add more moisture and make mini versions with chopped peanut butter cups as one more try.

These came out great! The only down fall is the recipie only makes 12. In the future I'd probably make a double batch. The brownies come out chewy and delicious!

These were so yummy! I did find that I had to cut the time I baked them down to about 23 minutes. Also, using foil muffin liners made them come out easily. Otherwise, the paper pulled off half the brownie. I froze the peanut butter cups before putting them in the batter. I'll be making these again soon!

This was yummy, but you will need to follow the recipe on the brownie mix box rather than on here because it won't turn out right otherwise.

I first tasted these at a cookie exchange party I attended. They couldn't be easier to make or more yummy to eat. I made them following the directions on the brownie box. I also made them in a mini muffin tin. One perfect little bite size treat to pop in your mouth!!
