Ingredients
1 box brownie mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
2 large eggs
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 12 cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs. Stir until fully combined and smooth.
3. Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with brownie batter.
4. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until centers are set but still slightly soft.
5. Remove from oven and immediately press a small indentation into the center of each brownie using the back of a spoon.
6. Add about 1 teaspoon peanut butter into each center while brownies are still warm.
7. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the tops and allow them to slightly melt.
8. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Serve warm or fully cooled.
Notes
For extra gooey centers, slightly underbake by 1 to 2 minutes.
Use traditional creamy peanut butter for best texture; natural peanut butter may separate.
Let brownies cool slightly before removing to prevent breaking.
