Peanut Butter Cup Brownies!!!

This recipe is super easy to follow and wonderful after school/ work treat! They are kind of rich, but if you are a peanut butter and chocolate lover they will be perfect for you! I have pictures of the mini brownies, but also I took the left over batter and poured it into a spring form pan and made a sort of peanut butter brownie tart. Anyway you make it, it is sure to be a success!!!

Prep time: 15 minutes
Bake time: 13-15 minutes
Makes 40 mini brownies

1 box of your favorite brownie mix
1/2 cup of peanut butter chips
1/2 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or grease 40 mini muffin cups.

Prepare boxed brownie mix as directed. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups ( about 1 heaping teaspoon). Bake for 13-15 minutes or until top is set and a toothpick inserted into center comes out slightly wet. After brownies are out of the oven, wait for centers to fall. This will happen upon cooling. If not then tap the centers with the back of a teaspoon to make a hole for the peanut butter.

Place peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 45 seconds then stir. While brownies are still warm spoon about half a teaspoon of peanut butter into the the center of each brownie. Top with semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. Cool completely in pan.

Grab a glass of milk and enjoy!!!!

This is my first cobbler to ever make and it was really easy to assemble... Not too much extra has to be done! Its really delicious especially served with ice cream!


Yields: 6 servings

1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter
1/4 milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla extract


Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix the strawberries with the sugar, corn starch, and orange zest. Let sit for 30 minutes to bring out the juices.
2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 Tbsp of sugar, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Cut the butter in with a pastry blender or your hands. Combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add in the milk, egg, and vanilla, stir until just moistened. Don't over mix!
3. Pour strawberries into a 2 quart casserole dish or individual casserole dishes/ ramekins. Drop the cobbler batter on top of the fruit. Lightly sprinkle sugar over the cobbler topping. Bake for 35-40 minutes until cobble crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling and kind of thick.
