I found these wonderful bits of goodness when trying to come up with something to make for a good friend's birthday. His girlfriend told me his favorites included cheesecake and anything peanut butter. Didn't want to just do basic peanut butter cookies- just way too simple so I had to search for something different and new. That is when I stumbled upon a peanut butter cheesecake and the idea to insert that goodness inside of a brownie! I love peanut butter, I love cheesecake- the combo baked inside a brownie is absolutely AMAZING!!! The peanut butter cheesecake alone is heaven!!
What you need:
1 pkg. (19 to 21 oz.) brownie mix (13x9-inch pan size)
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
* Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
* Prepare brownie batter as directed on the package.
* Spoon into 20 paper-lined muffin cups.
* Beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, peanut butter and vanilla with mixer until blended.
* Spoon 1 rounded Tbsp. into center of batter in each cup, pressing down slightly into batter.
* Bake 30 min. or until centers are set. Cool.
Top with whipped cream and a cherry - or a
cream cheese icing which I am thinking of trying
next time. You can find the recipe for that icing
on my red velvet cookies.
