A perfectly rich mixture of chocolate and peanut butter

I made these for the first time tonight. It was my husband's birthday and he wanted brownies, but I wanted to make them more special than just boxed brownie mix. I read the reviews and made 18 cupcakes, not 20. I also decided to double the peanut butter that the recipe calls for. Plus I swirled the peanut butter into the batter a bit as well. These were phenomenal!!!!! I will definitely be making these again!

I made these for my kids after a day in the snow and they loved them. they didn't have a huge peanut butter taste which was fine with me. I had a hard time pressing down the PB mixture so my first batch looked nothing like the picture and also it took a lot longer to cook , I think it was because the PB mixture was on top. My next batch came out much better because I swirled the PB mixture and it took the 30 mins to cook them. I would make these again without the peanut butter.

Good. I made them for a friend who loves BP and brownies. Left off the top. If you have as hard a time "spooning in" as I do - scooping batter into a zip-lock then cutting one end to pipe the batter into the middle works well.

Made these for a competition at work and they were well received! I used more peanut butter and less cream cheese, as mentioned in previous reviews, and topped them with a whipped chocolate frosting instead of the whipped cream. I would decrease the baking time a bit - I did mine for 26 minutes, and 24-25 would have been plenty.

I thought the cheesecake needed some more peanut butter.
