Joel found this recipe on the Pillsbury site somewhere. I made it for our class Christmas party, and there were none to take home. I only got to eat half of the last one. It makes 18 and I only took 15 along because Jayne and the girls each got to have one. We had like 30 people at the party so it is understandable that they disappeared.
1.5 c flour
1/3 c cocoa
1 c brown sugar
1 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
1/3 c veg oil
1 c water
1 T white vinegar
1/2 t vanilla
1 egg
1 8 oz pkg softened cream cheese
3/4 c peanut butter (Reese's is my favorite!)
1/3 c sugar
1/3 c 10x sugar
1/4 c PB chips
1/4 c chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 350 and line 18 muffin cups
2. In a large bowl, mix flour, cocoa, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add oil, water, vinegar, and vanilla, stir until smooth. Don't overbeat!
3. In a mixing bowl, beat egg, cream cheese, peanut butter, and granulated sugar on medium speed until smooth. Make sure to scrape down sides. Add 10x sugar, beat until creamy.
4. Spoon one level tablespoon choc batter into each cup, evenly spread one tablespoon peanut butter filling on top. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with two kinds of chips.
5. Bake 25-30 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Cook in pan 15 minutes, remove and cool 15 more minutes on wire rack (or in pie taker if you are going to be late to the party).
These are best to make if you have someone else, like a conveniently placed mother-in-law, to watch your children. They are pretty involved. Spreading the PB filling on top of the chocolate is lots of fun! It is not nearly as runny as the chocolate. PB chips are the bomb!
I should make my friend Jackie guest post her cake recipe that she brought because it was awesome! It was a chocolate cake with a Ganache, and it was so moist and wonderful. My husband brought a huge slice home. He says she is the best baker he knows!
