They are as good as they look.
I saw these quite some time ago on Bake or Break and then again on Nosh and Tell and I knew I had to make them. If you have been following my blog, you know I love anything chocolate and peanut butter and so does my boyfriend Zack. He and I went to visit his parents for the 4th of July and I always like to bring some kind of baked good with me when we visit. I always bring Buckeyes at Christmas and they go crazy for them. Actually, I made some last Christmas and believe it or not I forgot to take pictures and blog about them! Don't worry, I will not forget this Christmas. Anyway, I knew Zack's family would love these. When these brownies were on Bake or Break and Nosh and Tell they made the brownie batter from scratch. I took the easy way out and used Ghiradelli Double Chocolate Brownie Mix. I personally think it is the best box mix you can get and can easily beat some "from scratch" recipes. This recipe also was written to make 12 servings using a muffin tin. I went ahead and made them in a mini-muffin tin and it made 40 brownies! When you decide to make these (and you will decide to make these) do what works for you.
Makes 40 brownies as adapted
1 box of your favorite brownie mix
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
I'm making these with nutella instead of peanut butter! Cant wait to eat them!
ReplyDeleteThese were very yummy! Just the right amount of peanut butter and chocolate taste. I even used some white chocolate chips on some of them just to mix it up a little. Mine didn't turn out quite as pretty as the picture but they sure tasted fine!
ReplyDeleteMade these last night and they turned out delicious. From my experience:
ReplyDelete1. There is no way to get 40 out of one Double Chocolate Ghiradelli mix. I used a mini muffin pan and only made 24 with a bit left over.
2. I found that using a LOT of crisco to grease the muffin tin helped me get the muffins out.
3. I also did not see the brownies drop in the middle so I picked out the middle with a veggie peeler.
4. Someone suggested drizzling the melted peanut butter over the brownies as decoration, I did this and it looks beautiful.
If you press the centre of your brownies down you will not have to cut them out. Do this when they are warm and it will make a well for you

ReplyDeleteDelicious. I think I put too much peanut butter, but they still tasted great. I'll definitely be bringing them to parties.
ReplyDeletewould it be possible to make these with the PB baked inside the brownie instead of filling the brownie afterward? (brownie mix then PB then brownie mix? & then top with chips on top?)
ReplyDeleteOr perhaps inject the peanut butter into the center of the brownie using a turkey baster?
DeletePlease, which instructions should be followed when making the brownies.... the 'cake like' or 'fudgy like' ones? Does it even matter? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteDidn't want everyone's comments to print plus the picture. Just wanted the recipe. Will cut and paste next time.
ReplyDeleteUsed Wow butter in place of the peanut butter due to our sons anaphylaxis to peanuts and amazing they were!!!
