I have a small confession to make. I have a secret stash of Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Cups on the top shelf of my pantry. I usually access it nightly after the kids have gone to bed. But today I had this thought.. wouldn’t these little peanut butter cups be so cute and so good inside a mini brownie? It would be just enough brownie to suspend the mini peanut butter cup just perfectly. Next thing I knew I was baking up a batch and popping them in my mouth. Heavenly.
The nice part about this recipe is that the baking time is only about 15 minutes and the batter can be prepared in a mixing bowl. No special mixer required. If you don’t have a mini cupcake pan, these can be made in a 9×13 baking dish too. Enjoy!

Keep up the good work, I like your writing.
Hey, I have been looking for solutions of experts, and after surfing through the search engines and directories, I ended up your article, and it isnice article. Too bad I took all these days to get to your site. Saved you in my bookmarks already. Shall visit pretty soon. Keep writing you will get loads of followers.
Hi, Alice! I made these for my mom, and she is HOOKED! They were really easy to make, too and needless to say, deeeelicious. All of the brownies were gone within a couple of days. Also made your chocolate chip cookies, and your recipe is by far the best I have ever tasted.
I made these with a box brownie mix. Impossible for me to describe their awesomeness. It works better if you make the mix for “cake-like” brownies. They come out too soft and don’t hold up well the chewy way.
Hey Alice! I managed to borrow a mini cupcake pan from a friend (agreed to exchange use of bakeware for some of the finished goods). They came out RIDICULOUSLY good. An instant hit at the office and at another buddy’s birthday dinner. Thanks again for posting this!
oh, I have a weakness for brownies and peanut butter cups… and your brownie recipe sounds nice and dense, just the way I like ’em. I have to try this.
Peanut butter and Chocolate! A marriage made in heaven!
I made these today and they are SO delish!! I did have problems with them not wanting to fully come out; I think I tried to take them out too soon, but I solved the problem with the next set by using tiny paper muffin cups. The brownie part itself is so good, and combined w/the pb cups is heaven! I’d like to put these on my blog. 🙂
What a brilliant idea! Those look amazing!
These were amazing. We made them on the weekend and they were a huge hit.
On the way to the grocery this minute for peanut butter cups!
These look fantastic! I have to try this for sure. The only problem is, I don’t like to share my reese’s pb cups!
Oh my! My family is going to thank-you and then some. I will try your recipe this weekend. Thanks so much for the recipe!
Oh my goodness… Brownie bites are my favorite. For some reason I find them so much more interesting than regular brownies. I come from a family of chocolate and peanut butter lovers, and I know these would be a HUGE hit.
I have a recipe for peanut butter cup brownies that is to die for. This is such a great idea!! I send a basket of goodies to work with my hubby on or around valentines day and this just might be it this year!! Thanks for the idea!!
Oh yeah! Love this! They look so yummy and perfect =D.
Wow a nice peanut butter surprise inside that brownie!
Your pictures are awesome, good work! … Oh, and the recipe looks pretty darn good too, will have to give it a try!
My daughter got a mini cupcake pan for Christmas, and I think mommy is going to have to borrow it to make these!
