sweet inspiration & fun baking ideas

You should try these. They are so yummy!

I just made these.
They only made 16 though? 2T per
They look soooo good. My son is waiting for them to cool to test for me : )
Thanks for all your wonderful ideas!!

Wow, the only thing I can think of is that your aluminum cups were too large. They should be the mini 2″ ones because I always get 30. They are made by Reynolds and come in a small box.

Hi Bakerella. I am about to make these, but I bought 2.5 inch PAPER cups instead.. I hope that’ll be alright?

Also, I bought the regular Reese’s PB cups instead of the mini ones.. but I’ll be cutting them up. I hope they look as good as yours. =\

Please reply soon!

Chloe – You may need to adjust cooking times, but I think that will be ok.

I’ve just found your blog and OMG does it ever make me hungry. I’ve got to try several of your great ideas. Love your blog.

i have an awesome homemade brownie recipe, so i adapted it for these. I also used the bigger cups–they were out of the mini ones. I had to cook them for 15 minutes, insert the peanut butter cups, and cook for 5 more.

They were delicious! I love your blog!!

Red Geranium Cottage – Thanks a bunch

jennifer – Hey, the bigger the better, right! Glad you liked them.

Where do you get the foil cups? I have tried my local supermarkets and Michaels but can only find the paper with foil on the outside. Thanks!

Melissa – I have found them at Publix and Kroger. They can be hard to find, so when I see them in stock, I ususally grab a few boxes.

Here's a pic of the box. However, imagine it in foil. Not green.

These look so great! I am determined to dedicate an entire weekend to trying recipes I’ve found on your blog. And then of course eating the results :)

These look so good. I have a question from step 2.

2. Place 30 foil liners on baking sheet

Does this mean you don’t actually put the cupcake wrappers in a cupcake tin? You just set them on a cookie sheet?

Stephanie – correct. The aluminum wrappers are sturdy enough so I can place them right on the baking sheet. You can also bake more of them at one time that way.

I just made these today! They turned out great- even though I was scared to try them since I didn’t have the exact items. I used regular sized cupcake liners, filling them about 1/3 full, then baking 15 min, then squishing a normal size reeses into the top, and then baking 5 more minutes. turned out great and tastes SOO good. Thanks so much Bakerella!!

Ok, so you do all this AND you work too? Way to go girl, you are wonderwoman…

Do you have to use foil cups or can they be the paper ones?

Janine – if you don’t use the foil cups, then you should place them in a mini muffin tray. the foil liners don’t need a tray because they are sturdy enough.

these look so yummy as well… i make my friend’s peanut butter version. take any peanut butter cookie recipe, (or box mix) and cook in mini muffin pan. when it comes out of the oven, before removing from pan, push a mini reese’s peanut butter cup down into the cookie (ends up like a small peanut butter pie, with the cookie acting as the crust)

I made these last night…. and just finished a few for breakfast… so bad! but oh so good!! thanks for this receipe!

Hi, I’ve been making these for years. Everyone that likes chocolate and peanut butter cups LOVE this. I have always used regular sized aluminum muffin tins and mini reeses. I cook them the package time and have the reeses unwrapped and ready. When you take them out of the oven start pressing them in each cup cake until they are level, do it fast. No need to put it back in the oven.

Made these a couple days ago (found your site through PW). These are fantastic! Hubby and the kids drooled and waited ever so patiently for them to come out of the oven. We’ll try to make them last a couple days.

Do you think these would work with caramilk cups instead of reese cups? I’m baking with some nut allergies in mind

Just wanted to say thank you for all of the hard work that goes into creating/maintaining your blog. I just made these candy cups for a large crowd over the weekend and they were a big hit. I couldnt find the exact size foil cups..mine were a tad smaller and they baked a bit quicker!
I was thinking about ‘stuffing’ them with Cella’s liquid cherry chocolates the next time..do you think that mite work?
I look forward to each one of your posts with excitement every day.

I am going to try these with my Debbie Meyer cupcake genius pan. I have been trying to find some new recipes to use with it and this one looks like it would be delicious.

Holy Cow these are good! So easy too!

Nikita and andrea – go for it. love to hear how they work for you.

Ok, soooo… I just made these in big cupcake liners with big reese cups & OH MY! My life will never be the same. If my size 0 britches don’t fit me soon, Bakerella, it is ALL your fault for these yummy things!!! I love them. I can’t for my son to carry these to school tomorrow… Happy Birthday to my little man!

humm that looks really good!

what did you use for the cameral on top of them

I’ve been making these with Rolo cups (Caramilk cups would surely do the same Nitika) – the only difference is that the caramel starts to caramelize even more. I didn’t know the trick about partly cooking them before inserting the cup, I’ll be sure to try it that way. I don’t usually leave it level but sink it into the middle of the brownie, though I like the idea of them being level. I’ll most definitely try these with the Reese’s cups. I’m also intrigued by terry’s cookie idea! Great blog, thanks for sharing everything!!!

I want to make these and sell them for a fundraiser for the March of Dimes.(A very dear charirty to my heart) Any idea how much you would suggest to charge?

I made these and my friends loved them..Thanks for the recipe =)

my mom makes these every year at our annual Christmas cookie party! Soo good!

This was one of the first things I fould on your blog and it looked so complicated and I would never be able to do it but after reading your recipe I was so surprised! I love mkaing things that are easier then they appear.

I am a brownie fanatic. Really. My mission in life, as of now, is to find as many interesting brownie recipes as possible and make them. So, I found your website which is absolutely adorable and checked out your brownie recipes. I made the brownie candy cups and loved them! However, with the batter amount given, I was only able to make 20 good-sized candy cups. In the future, I would love to try Reeces Pieces in the middle…other different kinds of candy would be fun to experiment with. Thank you so much for the tasty recipe!

So I made these for my brother-in-law’s birthday. There was 4 of us, and I thought to myself, “well I will just bring whatever is left over to work” but 4 of us ate all of them. They were absolutely addicting and wonderful. Really simple to make as well!

Just made these with 1.25 inch paper cups and a mini muffin pan. I had a left over banana from breakfast and i love banana/chocolate/peanut butter combo so i put a small slice in some of the papers before i poured the brownie mix in. Ill let you know how it goes.

hi
i have a ghiradelli triple chocolate brownie mix, do I use the same ingredients and bake time? many thanks.

I just made these for my daughter’s graduation party. Everyone loved them! Several guests asked for the recipe for their parties. Great idea and sooo easy to make. Thanks!

I made these with my kids using a regular size muffin tin… same baking instructions. WOW! yummy!

I am making these, your lemon bars and mini cherry cheesecakes for a bake sale to benifit Cookies For Kids Cancer! Thanks for the recipies!!

These are so delicious. I used a betty crocker mix instead and it yielded 68 mini brownies. I also used the paper cups and it held up it’s form just fine.

I put andes mints in some as well (instead of the PB cups) and they are delicious too.

Thanks for such a great recipe. They are definitely a crowd pleaser.

I’ve made these using dove chocolate filled w/ caramel…LOVED IT. also used heath toffee bits w/ the dove caramel and the reese’s. Oh, I also tried it with the turtle candy; each one was delicious!

I first started making these over a year ago when we were trying to sell our house. The first time we put them out for a showings, that person bid and bought the house.

:)

making these gluten-free as we speak! Let’s see how they turn out (Betty Crocker mix ftw!).

Ok it’s Tue evening, I’m letting the little morsels cool right now, but my question is, how (if the last) do I store them until Friday?
Thanks, Cher

Christine,
I would be interested in your gluten-free version if you have success.
Thanks!

I just made these with regular size baking cups and they are fantastic!! Very moist and for chocolate lovers!

I just found your website tonight.And gotta say I absolutely love it!!!I can’t wait to try some of your recipes.I am going to make these for my Valentines day cookie tray I am brining into work…I just made a website myself and I will post pictures of them when I make them…It’s still a work in progress but you should definitely check it out sometime!

OMG I LOVEEEEE these. I am a college student, and I swear, they have become our apartment regular. For birthdays, for celebrations… or when we just feel like something sweet :)

You’re awesome Bakerella!

Making for a party

I just made a batch of these, and they were AMAZING right out of the oven. I used 2″ foil cups, but they were store brand, and filled them to about a quarter inch from the top. Yield was about 40. The only thing I would do differently next time is perhaps lightly spray the foil cups with cooking spray, because the brownies are pretty sticky.

Awesome recipe!

^Oh, I just realized that the foil cups I used were foil on the outside, paper on the inside. That’s probably why they stuck. I imagine all-foil cups would be fine without the spray.

My daughter and i just drooooollled @ the Brownie Candy Cups .Weve itching to make them, but being from South Africa we have no idea what “Reeces Cups ” are. please xplain so we can adapt to similiar product here in South Africa.
Thanx.

How do you make the caramel topping for these?

Making these right now for mother in law’s birthday! Can’t wait to try one and for her to enjoy them! They look super yummy!

I made these the other night in preparation for my holiday platters…These are soooo good! He kept saying I should make bigger versions of them because he has to eat 5 of the little ones. haha.

Just made these and they are wonderful. I always check your site when I’m going to have company over and when I clicked the brownie link these just “spoke” to me. Thank you for taking the time to post all these wonderful treats!!

I made these and the cheesecake bars for thanksgiving. Everyone loved both extremely well. The only thing is I put them in the fridge after. It was a tiny bit hard to peel the foil liner off after being cold. No biggie. I’m just going to pull off the liners first next time. They’re super easy when warm.

I couldn’t find the cup either so my 9 yr old daughter and I made our own cups out of foil.

Try these

Great recipe and directions! Thank you!!! I made half with the chocolate mini Reese’s and the remaining with the white chocolate mini Reese’s. The white was such a nice contrast – especially for a white/brown theme dessert display.

I just made these with peppermint patties instead of the peanut butter cups – omg – amazing! I cut one pattie in half and stuck it down in the brownie and them topped it off with a whole one.

Hey Bakerelle….I am joining from Germany…Thank yyou for all you crazy ideas. I always try to test everything and my family and friends really enjoy it.

The problem is that we don’t have all ingredients you use =(
But still I am loving this page …. Thank you for that

DEEEELICIOUS! gotta try these yummy cups:)

The picture looks like there is caramel on top. Is there?

The cupcake liners sometimes come together as paper and foil. If your store doesn’t carry them, just ask. Most markets are happy to order for you.

I made these yesterday and they turned out delicious !! Thank you for the idea ! They came out a bit scary so I covered them with melted chocolate and everybody went crazy over them! Thanks for the recipe !

These were great!! I tried York peppermint patties instead of peanut butter cups, they were delicious.
