Ingredients
1 (19.8 ounce) package brownie mix
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons water
1 egg
20 miniature chocolate covered peanut butter cups, unwrapped
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2.Combine brownie mix, oil, egg and water in a large bowl. Stir 50 strokes with a spoon.
3.Place batter in a cupcake pan (cupcake wrappers recommended). Once cups are 3/4 of the way full, place an unwrapped miniature peanut butter cup in the middle, then bake for 30-35 minutes keeping an eye on them while they're baking. Let them cool and then they're ready to eat!!
My thoughts: I read the reviews and decided to go with half full and put the peanut butter cups in. I made these for a gathering so I used a low fat brownie mix for a quick mix. I pushed the peanut butter cups down in the mix however and the bottoms were rock hard from where the candy melted! They did soften up the next day with bread in the container. As long as you don't let the candy sink these should be a hit and I will try them again.

Chewy Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Brownies
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chewy-Whole-Wheat-Peanut-Butter-Brownies/Detail.aspx
Original Recipe
16 Servings
Ingredients
1/3 cup margarine, softened
2/3 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons water
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
2.In a large mixing bowl, beat together margarine and sugars; add eggs one at a time, and beat until mixture is light and fluffy. Stir in peanut butter, vanilla, and water.
3.In a separate mixing bowl, mix together flours with salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir into peanut butter mixture and blend well. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
4.Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top springs back when touched. Cool and cut into 16 squares.
My thoughts: These were pretty yummy. I didn't have baking soda though and don't think it made a difference but I did however use an 8x8 pan and it filled it to the top almost like a cake if you saw the pic on facebook! I also used only whole wheat flour for a full cup and added some chocolate chips because as some of the reviews on Allrecipes said, it needed a little bit of sweetness added to them. Oh and this was the day it was pouring rain and I was out of butter so I used shortening instead of margarine. If you're trying to go healthy natural peanut butter, organic sugars, and cage free eggs are always preferred in our kitchen. Enjoy!
