I whipped these brownies up this morning after seeing LovestoHost's picture. I used a dark chocolate brownie mix and I subtracted a teaspoon of water and added teaspoon of vanilla to the brownie mixture. I also ran the mini Reese's cup through the food processor before adding them to the brownie mixture. I baked these brownies in my Perfect Brownie Pan--baked at 350* they were done in just over 30 minutes. After letting them cool, we dug into these brownies. HEAVENLY. One of the best brownies we've ever had. It's already over halfway gone.

I had such high hopes for this recipe, but it just didn't work out. The peanut butter part was dry and crumbly, and I thought too much for the amount of brownies. I didn't really 'swirl' it in too much, so maybe that makes a difference? Also, I didn't have any mini pb cups so I added some chocolate chips. I only baked for 35 minutes- at 25 they were still gooey on the edge. I suppose I should always obey my cardinal rule of brownie making: always underbake them. If I try it again I would leave out the flour in the pb mix and maybe increase the sugar. Even the batter tasted odd after I added the flour. Not sure what went wrong.

You really can't go wrong w/Peanut Butter and gooey chocolate, can you? I have brownie issues (overdone, underdone, crumbly, battery-y, etc), so I decided to try this in mini muffin tins. They worked ok, but I never nailed the bake time, so some were still gooey and some were overdone. (This will work if you're good w/brownie bake times/doneness. I, obviously, am not.) I jumped ship and finished the way the submitter intended, but in an 8X8 pan since I'd used 1/2 the batter. These worked much better and were delicious. I used a Duncan Hines box mix since it needed to be a 9X13 sized mix. THANK YOU for the recipe, Erica!

Made these brownies exactly as the recipe stated with a package of Ghirardelli Chocolate Supreme brownie mix and they were a HUGE hit. Even my health-nut husband ate more of them than I did and requested that I make them again at Thanksgiving for his family. Once again, they were gobbled up before the evening was over. Will make this my default brownie recipe from now on!
