After Christmas, this year we bought some candy on sale for 75% off. The kids and I used them to make a quick and easy dessert:
Mini Peanut Butter Cup Brownies.
The kids unwrapped 24 candies (it was hard not to eat them!) We set them aside for later, as they are needed as soon as the brownies come out of the oven. This took the longest, so we needed them unwrapped before the brownies came out of the oven.
Betty Crocker brownie mix was what I had on hand, but any box of brownies will work. My 9 year old made up the mix according to the directions on the back.
The mini cupcake pan makes a lot at a time and works nicely for the mini peanut butter cups.
It took about 1 1/2 tablespoons of brownie mix to fill each cupcake paper about halfway. The kids helped a little, but it is tedious, so most of the work was done by me. Two regular teaspoons worked well to get the batter into the papers.
About 13-15 minutes was how long it took to bake them. When they were set up in the middle, they were done.
Immediately, the kids and I put the unwrapped peanut butter cups in the middle of each one and pressed them down. The pan was hot, so the kids had to work carefully. I let them cool a little before removing the brownies from the pan with my mini spatula.
There was enough batter left over to make another batch of 24 and then some! They were delicious, kid friendly and fast!
I have also made these with different flavors of Hershey's kisses, and they worked great as well.
