PEANUT BUTTER OREO BROWNIES

PEANUT BUTTER OREO BROWNIE CUPS

MAY 18, 2013

Bethany sent me a picture of the deadly looking brownies!

So, hey we tried them out!

1. Line your cupcake pans with cupcake liners, then I went ahead and sprayed the liners with cooking spray.

2.  Mix a package of brownies according to the package directions.

3.  Drop a spoonful of brownie batter in the bottom of each cupcake liner.

4. Take one oreo, spread peanut butter (creamy or crunchy) on top.

5. Top that peanut butter tower with another Oreo and then spread peanut butter on top of it.

6.  Place that tower on the brownie batter that is in the bottom of one of the cupcake liners.

7.  Repeat for all cupcake liners.

8.  Now, carefully spoon brownie batter over the top of each Oreo tower so that the batter runs down around the cookies and fills the cupcake liner.  You might need to thin the brownie batter a little bit.

9.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes.  Check and bake additional time as needed.  Watch carefully so they don't burn -- there really isn't a thick brownie batter to cook, so it cooks quicker than you think.

10. Enjoy!
