These are delicious. I used Ghiardelli Double Chocolate brownie mix (a local favorite), and found that it was easier to unwrap the peanut butter cups in hot and humid Florida if they spent about 10 minutes in the fridge. Using regular size cupcake cups makes 18 large treats - this inspires me to use a miniature cupcake cup and try some other small candies, such as Rolos or any of the candies that come in a little ball. (York Peppermint Patty, Milky Way, etc.) Can't wait! Thanks for the recipe and the ideas!

These are to die for!!!! I have made something similar with cookie dough, but brownies are the hands down winner here. I actually was lazy and used Pillsbury's brownie roll (just like cookie dough) just because I already had that on hand. You just cannot beat the chewy chocolate-peanut butter combination. Thanks, LeahG!
