1 pkg. brownie mix, mixed according to pkg. directions (with 1/4 cup water, 3 eggs, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cupcake liners into the cupcake tins.

Prepare brownie batter according to package directions. Fill each tin 1/2 full with the brownie mixture. Add 1 Tbsp. of peanut butter chips to each cupcake. Top each cupcake with remaining brownie mixture.
