How to Make Brownie Candy Cups

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper baking cups.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, fudge packet from the mix, 2 large eggs, 1/3 cup water, and 1/3 cup vegetable oil. Stir with a spoon until well blended (approximately 50 strokes).
  3. Fill each paper liner about 2/3 full with batter.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
  5. Remove from oven and gently press 1 mini peanut butter cup into the center of each brownie cupcake, ensuring it's level with the surface.
  6. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely in the muffin tin before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
