This is my first WanderFood Wednesday!
If you like Reeses peanut butter cups, you'll LOVE these - same flavor, just in muffin form! I made these on March 29th, thanks to my Hershey's Cocoa Easy Baking book :-)
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs
3/4 cup Hershey's Cocoa
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 2/3 cups (10 ounce package) Reese's Peanut Butter Chips, divided
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 18 muffin cups (2 1/2 inches in diameter) with paper or foil bake cups. *Note: My muffins were huge, so next time I'm going to line more muffin cups and use less batter, two dozen can easily be made.
Place butter in large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at high (100%) 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until melted. Stir in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs; beat well. Add cocoa; beat until well blended. Add flour, baking powder and salt; beat well. Stir in 1 1/3 cups peanut butter chips. Divide batter evenly into muffin cups.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until surface is firm; remove from oven. Immediately sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup peanut butter chips over muffin tops, pressing in slightly. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
Any tips on how to keep these moist & soft in the days that follow? I am not an experienced cook, so the good news is these were easy and came out great so I recommend to anyone! The bad news is that the next day they'd lost their texture, so from then on I had to microwave each one before I ate it. What do you all do to keep muffins from getting hard?

hi andrea.. thanks for the brownies recipe you've shared.. too bad, we don't have microwave and oven here :-)
Can you box these up and send them to me? They look DELISH! ;)
As for keeping them moist and soft, maybe you could try vegetable oil? I think about 2 to 3 tablespoons into the batter should work. That's what a friend of mine does to keep her brownies (and other baked goodies) stay fresh longer. ;)
My advice... eat them ALL in one sitting! lol mmmmmmmmmm
:~)
Hi Andrea, this is one yummy brownie. The recipe look so simple to find. Thanks for sharing it. I am drooling!
Hey, Andrea!
That looks like a pretty neat recipe... I'm not much for peanut butter type snacks, but I will admit they look yummy!
As for keeping them fresh... I usually put baked goods like this in ziploc baggies. Letting too much air get to stuff like this makes it lose its freshness faster. I also have a friend who once suggested putting a slice of bread in a sealed contained with her chocolate chip cookies to keep them moist and chewy longer. She said that it helped maintain its freshness somehow... Don't know if it works. I've never tried it...
Hmmm, this looks so yummy! I should also try this one. LOL!
Oh well, I hope you are doing fine and thank you for the comments you left at my blog. Happy blogging!
Those look so good! Now I just need to buy some peanut butter chips to try them out.
These look fantastic! I can't wait to make them!
Great Stuff It looks very nice i would like to make it for this X-mas...
