Box mixes are great because they take out the measurements and fiddly bits of baking and allow you to have a tasty product. Sometimes you can do more to dress it up to surprise yourself or someone else. That’s where PB&J brownies come in.

Ingredients

• Box mix of brownies

• 1 egg

• Vegetable oil as directed on box

• Water as directed on box

• Jar of peanut butter

• Jar of jam, preferably strawberry

Prep

1. Preheat oven as directed on box

2. Mix eggs, water, oil and mix as needed to form brownie mix

3. Take a muffin or cupcake baking tray

4. Spray with non stick oil

5. Fill partway with brownie mix

6. Add dollop of peanut butter in center

7. Add more brownie mix on top

Afterthoughts

These fun brownies are great with or without the jam but fun either way. The flavors both go well with the chocolate of the brownie and it makes a good snack for anyone that loves PB&J and brownies. It’ll be a fun surprise for anyone for Valentine’s.
