This recipe only makes 12 cupcakes when you fill them to the top, which I did. I also used Dove chocolate covered caramels and pushed them inside and smoothed over the tops. I also used a vanilla buttercream frosting on top with some drizzeled caramel and chocolate shavings. You feel a cavity forming just looking at them, but dang they are good.

My Mother in-law also has a good recipe. Take a 9 by 9 pan and pour half of a brownie mix then put 2 big hershey bars side by side in the middle then cover with the rest of the brownie mix and bake. Let it cool completely before cutting as the bars will melt. It is so rich and good.
Also do this with peanut butter cups. the thinner ones.

There seems to be some confusion. I didn't watch the show, so maybe someone can verify this for me; but the recipe does not say anything about putting batter over the peanut butter chips, once they are added. All the recipe says is to put the peanut butter chips on top of the batter, then goes on to give directions about adding peanut butter cups into the batter if you are using those instead of chips. Someone here commented that on her show, Paula put batter over the peanut butter chips.
Since there are so many comments here about not getting the quantity the recipe states, it could be because they are putting batter over the pb chips. By doing this, you won't get 24 cupcakes.. The recipe says to fill only half of the cupcake holder, then add peanut butter chips. (nothing else.
I made them and added a little batter over the pb chips and got only a dozen cupcakes, but they are delicious!
For your info, the peanut butter chips don't melt, but these brownie cupcakes are still delicious!!

We loved this recipe. Topped it with Ina Garten's peanut butter icing. Incredible.

This is a wonderful cupcake. When I first read the recipe I thought there's not going to be anything super about the recipe, but when I tried it I was so surprised. The cupcakes were moist and yummy and the candy gave it a wonderful peanut butter flavor. I truly fell in love with this recipe, I would've never imagined that something so simple would be so good, but I was wrong. I wonder if you could use a miniature snicker's instead of a peanut butter cup? Does anyone know if this would be good? Thanks.

I used the Duncan Hines mix and instead of Peanut Butter chips I used White Chocolate chips from Hershey's. Turned out great. Was barely able to get 12 regular sized "cupcakes".

This recipe is ridiculously easy and delicious. I do make a couple of modifications though. I use a mini muffin tin instead of regular sized muffin one. I prefer the proportion of peanut butter to brownie :-. I also use the Whole Foods Organic Brownie mix. It's actually inexpensive and has chocolate chunks in the mix- not sure if that makes them better or what. Also, I use the Trader Joe's All Natural Peanut Butter Cups.

Now, it could have been my oven, although most recipes turn out fine at the required cooking time, but these turned out a bit dry for me. I used the recommended brownie mix and followed the recipe precisely.....the taste was good but if they had been a bit more moist, I would have loved them.

I will try the recipe again at a shorter cooking time...if that doesn't help, I will try it again with 2 eggs rather than the designated 3.

The potential for being delicious is there and I will keep trying until they turn out perfectly!

This recipe was fast and fudgey. Exactly what was needed for a chocolate craving. I used a Duncan Hines Dark chocolate brownie mix I picked up on sale and Reese's peanut butter chips. One bowl, one spoon, no muss no fuss. I filled the muffin tin about 1/4 full with brownie batter and added the chips and then filled the rest of the cup with batter. I was able to get 14 cupcakes out of this recipe. Excellent for portion control!

Made these cupcakes for a 35-year-old's birthday/cocktail party and can't explain how happy everyone was :-
Instead of peanut butter morsels, I used chocolate/caramel swirls and chocolate caramel bites.....a smash hit!

Thanks Paula!
