Peanut Butter Brownies!

             Tomorrow is the Perunion. Basically everyone in my class that went to Peru are reuniting for a day of BBQing and festivities. I figured I'd make something yummy to bring along and please the pallettes of my fellow classmates. I decided to make brownies but not just average box brownies. I made, from scratch, peanut butter filled brownies. This is a first for me because before this I was a boring box brownie babe. Now I'll never go back! So after a quick trip to Wal-Mart for a few ingredients I gathered my mixing bowls, blasted my Ipod and got my bake on.

            Start with:
1 1/2 cups Sugar
1/2 cup softened butter
2 Tb water

Mix these in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for about 45 seconds so that the butter is melted.
Add in about 1 1/2 cups Semi-Sweet chocolate chips and put back in microwave to melt the chips. Mix. Stir in 2 eggs and 1 tsp vanilla. Add 2 cups flour and 1/2 tsp baking soda. Mix.  Stir in 1 1/2 cups Milk Chocolate chips. Don't melt these!!

In order to get the perfect amount of peanut butter in each bite these need to be made individually. So that means you have to use 2-12 holed muffin pans to bake them in. So spray them up with some cooking spray or grease them with butter. Spoon the mixture in each cup evenly. This should make 24 brownies easily. Bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes. You're going to want the tops to be firm but the center of it to be gooey when you insert a toothpick into it. When you take them out, let them cool and the middles should fall in on themselves. THIS IS GOOD! :o) If that doesn't work, you failed, start over

Just kidding! You can press them in with a spoon lightly. Put about 2 cups of peanut butter into a microwave safe bowl and melt for about 45 seconds. Now the fun part! Spoon the melted peanut butter into the middle of each brownie and think about how amazing they are going to taste! Ok you don't have to think about it but trust me, you will! Then take some leftover milk chocolate chips and put them on top of the peanut butter filling. Let Cool and Enjoy!

As I write this I haven't tried one yet but I'm going to attempt to wait until the BBQ tomorrow. This is going to be hard. I'll update tomorrow night with the results.

Side Note: I realized with my last post that I didn't really write a formal ingredients list. I kind of just inserted each ingredient as I typed and I decided to just stick with this way because it feels better to me so I'll BOLD all the ingredients from now on so that you can find them easier in the posts.
