Oreo and Peanut Butter Brownie Cupcakes

PA Cindy's Note:

I found this while searching the web and decided to try it today. My youngest son told me it was the best he ever had and my brother went so far as to say it was oreogasmic...so I'll let you decide. It is best to spay the cupcake liners so the brownies don't stick.

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 12

Yield: 12 cupcakes

• 510.29 g box brownie mix, 8x8 inch size
• 78.07 ml water (use amount specified on your brownie mix)
• 78.07 ml canola oil (use amount specified on your brownie mix)
• 2 eggs (use amount specified on your brownie mix)
• 24 Oreo cookies
• 118.29 ml creamy peanut butter

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 12 muffin cup baker with paper liners.
2. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions. For each cupcake cup spread 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter over each Oreo cookie and stack them on top of each other. Place oreo stacks into the cupcake lined muffin cups. Spoon 2 tablespoons of brownie batter over each stacked oreos and let it run down the sides of the cookies. If you have left over brownie batter, bake separately in a separate baker or muffin tin. Bake cookies and brownies for 18 to 20 minutes, until brownies are cooked through. Let cool completely then serve.
3. Makes 12 servings.

Wow... these turned out great. I used Duncan Hines brownie mix and used the 2 egg version. A #40 cookie scoop (2 TB) dropped over top of the cookie stack worked well.

These were super easy and such a hit! I used oreos with chocolate filling and made my own brownie mix - using the Float your Boat brownies on this site. They turned out fabulously and looked really cute with the Halloween Muffin papers I used. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing :)

My sister-in-law made these for her husband's birthday and they disappeared! I had to use mint Oreos and Nutella because my daughter has a peanut allergy, but they're still awesome! Thanks for posting the step-by-step instructions!
