Mini Peanut Butter-Filled Brownie Cupcakes

If you like this recipe, please share!

Mini peanut butter-filled brownie cupcakes are so delicious you won’t be able to eat just one or two.

I recently made two batches of these mini peanut butter-filled brownie cupcakes for two separate functions at school. They were a hit. The original recipe made larger cupcakes but I adapted it to make a mini version, which was better suited to my school need. These brownie cupcakes are rich and delicious. It was a good thing I was giving them away or I may have eaten every last one.

This recipe is perfect if you need a last minute treat for a pot luck, tailgate or even a lunch box treat. It starts with a boxed brownie mix that gets an addition of mini chocolate chips. The peanut butter filling whips up quickly too. Don’t worry if the filling shows through because it makes for an interesting look on the cupcakes and they are still just as delicious. 

We are a brownie loving family. There are many favorites, and lots of variety, like grasshopper brownies, a recipe I got from a friend, brownie cookies, and even brownie in pie form like brownie mint pie. There are easy recipes like these molten lava brownies and some that are more involved like cream cheese filled brownies.
