If you love peanut butter cups, you will fall in love with these brownies. The recipe calls for miniature peanut butter cup baking chips. If you cannot find them, you may chop up standard peanut butter cups. These luscious brownies are further enriched by sour cream and topped with an easy chocolate frosting. Starting with a packaged brownie mix makes these quick and easy.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Yield: 24 to 36 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 package (about 19 ounces) brownies mix
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 eggs at room temperature, lightly beaten
- 1 cup peanut butter cup baking chips or chopped peanut butter cups
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick foil.
Stir together brownie mix, oil, eggs, and sour cream with a large dinner fork just until combined. (Some small lumps will remain). Fold in peanut butter cup baking chips. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake about 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with fudgy crumbs. Sprinkle hot brownies with the chocolate chips and let sit until chips are soft. Spread melted chips into a frosting evenly over brownies.
Cool completely to room temperature. Cut brownies into bars and serve.
Yield: 24 to 36 servings, depending on cut size
