How to Make Brownie Peanut Butter Cups

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line an 18-cup muffin tin with paper baking cups.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) brownie mix, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1/2 cup water.
  4. Beat with a spoon for 50 strokes until just combined.
  5. Fill each lined muffin cup about 2/3 full with brownie batter.
  6. Gently press 1 standard-sized peanut butter cup into the center of each brownie batter cup until the top edge of the candy is even with the top of the batter.
  7. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (don't overbake!).
  8. Let cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
