Ingredients
3/4cupgranulated sugar
1/4cupbutter, softened
1tablespoonwater
1cupsemi-sweet chocolate chipsplus extra for topping
1largeegg
1/2teaspoonvanilla extract
1cupall-purpose flour
1/4teaspoonbaking soda
3/4cupmilk chocolate chips
3/4cupcreamy peanut butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin cups.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine sugar, butter, and water. Microwave until the butter melts, then mix in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted.
Stir in the egg and vanilla until thoroughly combined, then fold in the flour and baking soda just until combined. Allow the mix to cool slightly, then stir in the milk chocolate chips.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups and bake for 13-15 minutes or until the tops are just set.
Let the centers fall upon cooling, or gently press them down to create a well for the peanut butter.
Warm the peanut butter until runny, then spoon it into each brownie center and sprinkle with additional semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before serving.
Notes
For extra crunch, use chunky peanut butter instead of creamy. Store at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerate for a fudgier texture.
