Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

Peanut Butter Cup Brownies title

A couple months ago, long after the Easter Bunny hopped his way through our home, I found that we still had an abundance of candy (namely peanut butter cups) left over.  It seemed like a crying shame to throw the treats away, so instead I made a super hooked up version of the traditional brownie.

You will need:

Boxed brownie mix and whatever ingredients the mix calls for (in this case I needed eggs and oil)

Peanut butter cups

Semi-sweet chocolate morsels
