Fudgy bite-sized brownies are stuffed with a rich peanut butter and chocolate filling. They start with a cake mix, so they go together fast. Let the kids help. They will get a kick out of rolling the filling. These are perfectly delicious with no added embellishment, but you can dust them with powdered sugar for added eye appeal, if you wish.
