Peanut Butter and Oreo-Stuffed Brownie Cupcakes

If you’ve ever watched The Parent Trap (the Lindsay Lohan version) then you’re familiar with the heavenly combination that is peanut butter and Oreos. I believe that it’s one of the most delicious and one of the most under-appreciated pairings out there. And so, to remedy this severe under-appreciation, I have created a brownie dessert that celebrates the marriage of peanut butter and Oreos in a seriously amazing way.

Hallie and Annie would definitely approve.

Peanut Butter and Oreo-Stuffed Brownie Cupcakes

• Prep Time:15 minutes
• Cook Time:30 minutes
• Total Time:45 minutes
• Servings:12
• Easy

Ingredients

• 1 box brownie mix
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoon water
• 24 oreos
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• Cooking spray

• Step 1

  Preheat oven to 350°. Use cooking spray to grease a cupcake tray that holds a dozen cupcakes.

• Step 2

  In a bowl, prepare brownie mix according to instructions on box. Set aside.

  

• Step 3

  Create a tower that is made of two alternating layers of Oreo and two alternating layers of peanut butter. Repeat this eleven more times.

  

• Step 4

  Place one tower in each cup of your cupcake tray.

  #SpoonTip: Your towers should be placed Oreo-side down. 

  

• Step 5

  Spoon brownie batter into cupcake tray, making sure that each Oreo peanut butter tower is completely covered.

  

• Step 6

  Bake for thirty minutes. Brownie cups are done when a toothpick inserted into them comes out clean. Cool on wire rack after removing from oven.

  #SpoonTip: For the most even baking, turn tray around in oven after twenty minutes.
