Peanut Butter Cup Brownies [Kids in the Kitchen]

Sharing is caring!

Around here, we love anything with chocolate and peanut butter.  So I started thinking about the combination of a standard chocolate brownie mix and peanut butter and my mind started to wander to brownies with peanut butter cups.  When I saw these mini Reese’s cups, I knew I had hit jackpot.  Here is how we used peanut butter cups and homemade peanut butter frosting to liven up a typical chocolate brownie mix…
