Perfect, but I don’t use liners, they stick to the brownies, just use non stick mini muffin pan!
Eric Henderson
I followed the recipe exactly as directed and they were rich, fudgy, and chewy, just the way my family loves brownies. However the recipe only yielded 13 little cakes, not 20 as the recipe indicated. I will definitely make these again.

Followed recipe on box and came out great
Daniel Collins
Made mine according to the package. Shortened baking time from 30-35 min to 26 minutes. Brownies would’ve been just as good without the Reese’s cups, but it was a nice addition.

I followed the author’s directions but baking 30 minutes was too long as they were hardened on the bottom. I ended up cutting the bottoms off a quarter of an inch with a serrated knife. As some others said, I would follow the brownie mix directions instead.

Took these to a party and everyone loved them. The key is to stick with the directions on the brownie mix box, and use a mini muffin tin. I used paper liners and filled them up a little over half way before adding the Reese’s cup. Make sure you push it all the way down into the brownie mix. I cooked them for 15 min and they were perfect. Topped them off with a M&M to give it a little color.

Ok, these were just too amazing. I almost wish I didn’t make them so I wouldn’t know about them, they are too easy and delicious. As other have suggested, I followed the instructions on the brownie mix box and added the 3rd egg for cake like brownies. I used a mini muffin pan with paper liners. Cups were filled about 3/4 full so that when the mini pb cup was pressed in the paper liner was full. With the small volume of the mini muffin tin bake time was reduced to about 18 minutes, be sure to check with a toothpick after 15 minutes. I made 24 mini’s and had enough batter left over for an 8×8 pan of “regular” brownies as well (and these cooked the full 40 minute bake time).

I tried doing this in a 9×13 with 15 mini cups. It wasn’t very successful. Too much brownie. But the flavor is good and these were easy

When making with Snickers…..cut fun size bars into 1/3s. Fill 36 mini muffin tins with wrapers and spray. Spoon 3/4 full . bake at 325 for 20 min. take out and push the candy bar in…return to oven for 5 min.

prepared for fudgey brownies per box and used mini muffin pan (no liners, but plenty of pam for baking). Added the peanut butter cup right when taken from the oven
Christine Caldwell
Fabulous! I did not change a thing!
Brianna Walker
A+. 10/10. Be sure to use foil cupcake wrappers.
Victor Nguyen
I followed the recipe and it didn’t turn out well so I couldn’t take this to the potluck. Will try again…
Billy Peterson
The picture with this recipe doesn’t match the recipe. I made brownies in a mini cupcake pan. Just before they were done, I pulled them out of the oven and gently made an indent on each brownie with a spoon. Then I put a small amount of peanut butter (microwaved for 45 seconds) on each of the brownies. Then I topped each one with a few chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. They are cooling now and I am anxious to see how they turned out. The recipe posted here looks a lot simpler!

Good ..easy

How good can a peanut butter cup with a little brownie around it be??? Outstanding! I tried both the mini mini pb cups that are unwrapped in the baking section and the regular mini pb cups bc the regular ones seemed like they were so big in my mini muffin pan that there wouldn’t be enough room for the brownie. However, the regular size turned out so much better. I sprayed mini paper liners with Pam, put the pb cup upside down in first then topped with batter (followed the directions on the box). Baked 325 for about 20 minutes. Don’t overbake! These are so fast and easy. I topped with a dollop of rich choc frosting from this site. Store in fridge. So, so good. They do stick a bit to the paper liners – just spray well with Pam first- no biggie.

I would give it 1000 stars if I could!! Also try adding a small scoop of peanut butter and topping it with chocolate and peanut butter chips! really, really delicious!!

My family and I loved these! Who doesn’t like fudgie brownies and peanut butter, right?! I didn’t use boxed brownie mix, I made homeade brownies from this site, (“Absolutely Best Brownies”). I added a tsp. of instant coffee granules to the brownie mix for more of a mocha flavor, and used a blue bonnet margarine stick instead of butter (cheaper, but turned out great). I used a mini muffin pan instead of regular and sprayed the muffin liners with baking spray to avoid sticking, and took the paper liners off of them before arranging on the platter. Oh… and they took about 10 or 11 minutes to bake in the mini muffin pan. I did a quick cool in the freezer for about 10 minutes or a little less. My husband kept coming back for more!!

Added some pb chips to batter. Used ghiradelli. Square pan. Added 16 pb cups. Cooked 30 min
Joseph Chavez
followed directions(used peanut butter chip brownie mix)….did bake them in mini tins @350 for about 11~12 minutes…perfections!
Jessica Rodgers
I am glad I read the reviews and suggestions. I added the oil, water and eggs as directed on the package of brownies. I added 2 tbs of creamy peanut butter in the batter to boost the flavor. I also used paper muffin liners and simply sprayed them with butter cooking spray. I was only able to get 18 brownie muffins. These were very tasty. I will make them again
