Peanut Butter Brownies??

Question

Does anyone know how to "doctor up" a regular box of brownie mix to make it include peanut butter?? I am making some brownies and one of my kids want peanut butter ones.

Thankyou in advance! :)

Answer 1

add a cup of peanut butter

Answer 2

For brownies
1 (20 ounce) box brownie mix
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
For Topping
4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (or more, depending on taste)
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup Cool Whip
chocolate syrup (optional)

Prepare brownies as directed on package.
After allowing to cool cut brownies into 3x3" squares.
Mix together milk and peanut butter till smooth.
Fold in cool whip and mix till combined.
Top brownies with 1 1/2-2 tablespoons of peanut butter mixture.
If desired drizzle chocolate sauce over brownie and serve!

Answer 3

You could do 1 of 2 things.

1.
I would make them like you always do. And place them in the pan ready for the ovem. Then melt a cup of peanut butter and pour in on the top and make a design.

2.
You can add peanut butter baking chips to the mix and it would be all mixed up in the pan.

Either way they both sound good.

Answer 4

You could melt some peanut butter chips and chocolate chips and drizzle it on the top.
Or you could just put a cup or so into the batter and cook away. I don't think you could truly mess up brownies. They taste good no matter what pretty much.

Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies
Recipe courtesy Gourmet Magazine, September, 1991
TAILGATE PARTY

2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
3 large eggs
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
7/8 cup all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl cream together 1/2 stick of the butter, the peanut butter, and the brown sugar and beat in 1 of the eggs and the cream cheese, a little at a time, beating until the mixture is smooth. In a small saucepan melt 1 stick of the remaining butter with the chocolate over low heat, stirring until the mixture is smooth, and let the chocolate mixture cool. In another bowl cream together the remaining 1 stick of butter and the granulated sugar, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy, and beat in the remaining 2 eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the chocolate mixture, the vanilla, and the flour, sifted, and pour the batter into a buttered 13 by 9 inch baking pan. Drop dollops of the peanut butter mixture into the batter, swirling the peanut butter mixture to marble the batter, bake the brownies for 45 to 50 minutes, or until they pull away slightly from the sides of the pan and a tester comes out with crumbs adhering to it, and let them cool before cutting them into squares.

Answer 7

Well you could go about this one of two ways:

-Buy a small bag of Peanut Butter chips. Kind of like chocolate chips. Stir them into the batter. DEFINATELY recommended.
-Add about 2 tbsp regular peanut butter into the mix. Stir. Add a splash more milk/water/oil.

Answer 8

Try taking the brownie, cut it in half, and slide pb in it. Or just buy some.

Answer 9

the best books to get are the "Cake Doctor" cook books. They have the best recipes that use cake mixes that you "doctor". I dont have the chocolate one so I cant see if there's something there. I do have a few brownie recipes but these are like the others... not peanut in the brownies but on top.
