Gooey Brownie Cups

Okay, I admit it! I got this FABULOUS idea from Pinterest (click here to see our Pinterest page) and followed the most beautiful picture of the scrumptious brownie to the really great cooking blog Baked Perfection.  I decided to give it a shot. The recipe looked so easy and heck, you really cannot go wrong with brownies!

I made my way to the market and bought all sorts of goodies to put into these brownie cups as I have a bunch of kiddos that have a varying ideas of what is good on chocolate (Persnickety perhaps)...
WHAT?
Yes... snobs!
I will eat anything with chocolate...
I am in fact the opposite.
I am a chocolate glutton.
<gasp>
Yes it is true!

Here is the basic recipe...

Ingredients:

1 box of your favorite brownie mix. (I choose fudge brownies).

1/2 cup peanut butter chips

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

*I also added coconut to some and also halved skinny pretzel sticks.

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Mix brownie mix in a bowl and spoon into muffin cups (1-2 heaping teaspoons).
3. Bake for 13-15 minutes (check by poking with a toothpick to ensure that it comes out slightly wet).
4. Take brownies out to cool, let centers drop (if they do not drop tap them down with the back of a spoon).
5. Place creamy peanut butter in a bowl and microwave for 45 seconds.
6. Spoon  peanut butter into centers of each brownie.
7. Add your toppings of choice. (example: a few peanut butter chips and a few chocolate chips, or poke pretzel sticks in the center to make a 'campfire').
8. Cool completely on the counter top or place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set.
